Lead Developers

Robin Clark

wrote the original X-Accountant in Motif as a school project, taking it to version 0.9 by October 1997.

Linas Vepstas

liked what he saw: the GUI was slick, the code was documented and well structured, and it was all GPL'ed. And so he re-wrote it: adding cell-widgets to XbaeMatrix, so that the combobox and arrows would make an even slicker GUI, rewrote the X-Accountant internals to add double-entry, an account hierarchy, split out a transaction mini-engine, add support for stocks, and spiff up the help menus. This was version 1.0 as of January 1998. Since then, for version 1.1, the engine was expanded and refined, and the register window code completely redesigned and made mostly Motif-(and GUI-)independent. Did some prototype OFX work.

Jeremy Collins

publicized the GnoMoney project widely and broadly, and then changed its name to GnuCash. Jeremy created the gnucash.org web site, registered the domain, got the initial GTK/gnome code working.

Rob Browning

abused everyone for not using perl, and then after we added perl support, dumped perl in favor of guile/scheme support. Rob maintains the build infrastructure, is handling the whole guile/perl extension language thing, and is dealing with configuration and configurability.

Dave Peticolas

hacks obsessively on GnuCash. But he can stop anytime he wants to. Really.

Bill Gribble

works magic. If your checks print wrong, blame him. If you don't like the amount printed on your checks, blame him. If you don't like your your bank balances, your bank, or your life, blame him too.
