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 , who originally created Django with
Simon and currently oversees things with Jacob.
Simon Willison , who originally created Django with
Adrian during his year-long internship/placement at World Online and currently
helps from the sidelines.
Jacob Kaplan-Moss , who joined the team shortly
before Simon departed and currently oversees things with Adrian.
Wilson Miner , who designed Django's admin
interface, pretty error pages, official Web site (djangoproject.com) and has
made many other contributions.
Georg "Hugo" Bauer , who added
internationalization support, manages i18n contributions and has made a ton
of excellent tweaks, feature additions and bug fixes.
Robert Wittams , 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.
And here is an inevitably incomplete list of MUCH-APPRECIATED CONTRIBUTORS --
people who have submitted patches, reported bugs, added translations, helped
answer newbie questions, and generally made Django that much better:
