+Django was originally created in late 2003 at World Online, the Web division
+of the Lawrence Journal-World newspaper in Lawrence, Kansas.
+
+
+The PRIMARY AUTHORS are (and/or have been):
+
+Adrian Holovaty <http://www.holovaty.com/>, who originally created Django with
+Simon and currently oversees things with Jacob.
+
+Simon Willison <http://simon.incutio.com/>, who originally created Django with
+Adrian during his year-long internship/placement at World Online and currently
+helps from the sidelines.
+
+Jacob Kaplan-Moss <http://www.jacobian.org/>, who joined the team shortly
+before Simon departed and currently oversees things with Adrian.
+
+Wilson Miner <http://www.wilsonminer.com/>, who designed Django's admin
+interface, pretty error pages, official Web site (djangoproject.com) and has
+made many other contributions.
+
+Georg "Hugo" Bauer <http://hugo.muensterland.org/>, who added
+internationalization support, manages i18n contributions and has made a ton
+of excellent tweaks, feature additions and bug fixes.
+
+Robert Wittams <http://robert.wittams.com/>, who majorly refactored the Django
+admin application to allow for easier reuse and has made a ton of excellent
+tweaks, feature additions and bug fixes.
