Project:Development team

This page provides brief information on the team behind MediaWiki. It's not exhaustive and might well be out of date.

Brion Vibber
A software developer from California, Brion is the lead developer and release manager for MediaWiki. When he's not involved in keeping Wikimedia's server cluster alive, he can be found dodging about writing code, responding to users and granting commit access.

Magnus Manske
A German student, and the original author of the PHP/MySQL scripts that would later become MediaWiki, Magnus can still be found experimenting with alternate parsers and output formats, and fulfilling little feature requests here and there.

James Day
James Day has been involved with development since 2004, and has put a lot of effort into helping optimise the database side of things.

Tim Starling
An Australian who dabbles in system administration and programming, Tim wrote a significant amount of the current parser, and has contributed a number of features and fixes.
