PostNuke Credits
================

   PostNuke is, as with many successful open-source products, a huge
collaborative effort spanning many diverse talents from across the globe.  The
list below gives an idea of some of the people that have helped in

   PostNuke was originally a fork of PHPNuke by Francisco Burzi, and many of
the concepts in that program survive even though the code does not.  We (and
PHPNuke, of course) were also influenced by earlier products such as slash and
thatware, and I'm sure that we could trace the lineage back to the earliest
weblog if we wanted to.  Open source at work is taking the best ideas floating
around the web and building a product out of them, and that's where we hope
that PostNuke is heading.
