__NOTOC__ |
|||
The following are short biographies of the people responsible for creating, maintaining, and developing MusicBrainz, as well as certain members of the community worthy of honorable mention. |
|||
There are developers who write the software for the web site and client applications, system administrators who keep the servers running, style editors who edit the style guidelines, and last - but definitely not least - all the users who add to and improve the accuracy of the data itself, and it is their combined efforts that have helped make MusicBrainz into what it is today. |
