This project started as an IRC discussion between [[user:Yurik|Yuri Astrakhan]], [[user:Tim Starling|Tim Starling]], and [[:de:user:Duesentrieb|Daniel Kinzler]]. Tim gave a huge kick-start by implementing the very first property. Later, Yuri has implemented numerous queries and formats, and is currently maintaing this feature. As of July 1st, 2006, Query API receives over 275,000 requests per day.
Initially all of Query API code was developed using an excelent text editor [[Notepad++]], but on July 1st [http://www.nusphere.com/Y4F049 NuSphere] kindly donated [http://www.nusphere.com/Y2D571 PhpED] - an [[IDE]] for [[PHP]] with advanced debugging and profiling capabilities. I am very grateful to NuSphere for their support.
