We owe a huge thanks to the core WordPress team and to the many developers who wrote the fantastic plugins in use on this site. Thanks also to Ian Stewart, Chris Gossmann and the whole team over at Themeshaper for Thematic, the outstanding theme framework on which this site is built.

Wonderful William Blacklock of TwinB Creative designed the site and supplied many additional hours of assistance to Michelle McGinnis of Friendly Web Consulting, who developed it. Ernest Flores, ace graphic designer at Rackspace, created the logo and designed the stickers and T-shirts.

Benjamin Golub and Paul Buchheit of FriendFeed couldn’t have been more helpful and generous with their time, support and development hours — on a weekend, no less.

Christopher Golda of BackType and Chris Saad and the team at JS-Kit were quick to answer questions and supply assistance when needed.

And Bob Davis, of the Cardinal Hotel in Palo Alto, was especially helpful during launch. Thanks, Bob!
