| CodeIgniter was originally developed by `Rick |
| Ellis <http://www.ellislab.com/>`_ (CEO of `EllisLab, |
| Inc. <http://ellislab.com/>`_). The framework was written for |
| performance in the real world, with many of the class libraries, |
| helpers, and sub-systems borrowed from the code-base of |
| `ExpressionEngine <http://www.expressionengine.com/>`_. |
| |
| It is currently developed and maintained by the ExpressionEngine |
| Development Team. |
| Bleeding edge development is spearheaded by the handpicked contributors |
| of the Reactor Team. |
| |
| A hat tip goes to Ruby on Rails for inspiring us to create a PHP |
| framework, and for bringing frameworks into the general consciousness of |
| the web community. |
