Inspired by LimeWire's owner, Mark Gorton, the LimeWire project is a collaborative open source effort involving programmers and researchers from all over the world. The collaborative nature of Gnutella is also reflected in the Gnutella Developers Forum (GDF), of which LimeWire is a participant. The members of the GDF work in the trenches every day to make Gnutella a truly innovative collection of protocols that is constantly improving -- a testament to the power of open protocols and open standards.

LimeWire is also, of course, the result of the countless hours of work by the LimeWire developers. These include the following:

- Zlatin Balevsky
- Sam Berlin
- Greg Bildson
- Dave Nicponski
- Justin Schmidt

The LimeWire web site and LimeWire's graphics are the hard work of Senior Designer Aubrey Arago. Aubrey also designed the LimeWire themes.

Behind the scenes business developments and day to day affairs are handled by Meghan Formel and Katie Catillaz.

Zenzele Bell dutifully answers all LimeWire Pro support questions.

In addition, the following developers have worked on the LimeWire team in the past, but have since moved on to other projects:

Susheel Daswani Adam Fisk Tarun Kapoor Yusuke Naito Christopher Rohrs | Anurag Singla Robert Soule Sumeet Thadani Ron Vogl

LimeWire open source contributors have provided significant code and many bug fixes, ideas, research, etc. to the project as well. Those listed below have either written code that is distributed with every version of LimeWire, have identified serious bugs in the code, or both:

Richie Bielak Jerry Charumilind Marvin Chase Robert Collins Kenneth Corbin David Graff Andy Hedges Michael Hirsch Roger Kapsi Jens-Uwe Mager | Gordon Mohr Chance Moore Rick T. Piazza Eugene Romanenko Gregorio Roper William Rucklidge Eric Seidel Philippe Verdy Stephan Weber Jason Winzenried

LimeWire would also like to thank the many contributors to the internationalization project, both for the application itself and for the LimeWire web site.

In addition to these contributors, several colleagues in the Gnutella community merit special thanks. These include: Vincent Falco of Free Peers, Inc., Gordon Mohr of Bitzi, Inc., John Marshall of Gnucleus, Jason Thomas of Swapper, Brander Lien of ToadNode, Angelo Sotira of www.gnutella.com, Marc Molinaro of www.gnutelliums.com, Simon Bellwood of www.gnutella.co.uk, Serguei Osokine, Justin Chapweske, Mike Green, Raphael Manfredi, Tor Klingberg, Mickael Prinkey, Sean Ediger, and Kath Whittle.

LimeWire would like to extend its sincere thanks to these developers and all others who have contributed their ideas to the project. Finally, LimeWire would like to thank the LimeWire users, without whom the LimeWire network would not exist.
