WordPress Movers and Shakers
I’ve taken an idea from Lloyd D Budd‘s email to me “Well Met Cave Coder” and created a “People of WordPress” link category. Never mind the fact that during his rearrange, I seem to have dropped off the end of his list… But we won’t go there ;P (I’ll still put you on my list Lloyd…) You can find it on the right hand side of my blog.
I made this list by taking a look at my WP- email folder history back to an arbitrary date. I then grabbed the names of people with 100+ contributions and by adding a few more names that stood out to me – probably because I’ve talked with them in the past or their name is unique enough that it just stuck in my brain. This, by far, is not the list of everyone that’s made significant WordPress contributions. But, if you want to dive into the mindset of people that have an influence on the future if WordPress, this is a good place to start.
In the random order my site just chose, I give you my initial People of WordPress list:

Closing bug as FIXED.
You were among a few links that had lost their category as you say during a rearrange.
Sorry!
[Big Grin!]
You made me ACTUALY laugh out loud!
“Closing bug as FIXED.” I love it!
Thanks Lloyd!
(Did I ever tell you that we almost named one of our boys Lloyd Alexander? I always liked the two Ls)
Thats a great list Brian.
I wouldn’t call myself that active on the WP support forum though!
I think I spend more time on trac than the support forum 😉
Oh my Lord! I’m speechless lol. [shakes head twice, and pinches self].. I must be dreaming..haha. 😛
I can’t believe I made it on your list, but, thank you so much! I’ll have to do up something like this then, and make sure you’re added. 😉 Well, I’ll add your link now anyway, but, hopefully soon here I’ll get a “WP Movers and Shakers” going .. 😉 🙂
Thanks again Brian! 😉 🙂
Westi: So Noted and So Shall it be! (After finish my coffee and actually get some work done today.) Sorry for the mischaracterization. I just remember you making prominent contributions on the forums too. And the trac stuff has a little less obvious fanfare.
spencerp: I was sure you were actually being sarcastic till I got to the end of your comment and there was no punch line! How could there possbily be a list without spencerp on it?!?!?!
