Congratulate Tony Petruzzi, our New Lead Developer

We are excited to announce that Tony Petruzzi is taking on the role of lead developer for the Wheels Core Team. Tony’s technical skill and dedication to the project will undoubtedly lead us to great places in the future. We are already cooking up some new plans and are excited to continue on under Tony’s leadership.

We would also like to take a moment to thank Per Djurner, who has led the project for several years now. Much of the code and documentation have been contributed by Per, and we ultimately wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for his generosity.

As we approach 2011, we will be focusing on ways to get the community more involved with contributing to the project. Stay tuned for more news soon.
