ttfunk was originally developed by Gregory Brown as part of the Prawn project. In 2010, Gregory officially handed the project off to the Prawn core team. Currently active maintainers include Brad Ediger, Daniel Nelson, James Healy, and Jonathan Greenberg.
While he was only with us for a short time before moving on to other things, we’d also like to thank Prawn core team emeritus Jamis Buck for his contributions.
