# The PyObjC core team

## Current

The current maintainer, and primary author, for PyObjC is Ronald Oussoren. Ronald picked up the orginal version of PyObjC and rewrote it to be able to subclass Cocoa classes instead of just being able to use existing Cocoa classes and objects.

## Past

Lele Gaifax wrote the original version of PyObjC back in the NeXTStep days.

Bill Bumgarner contributed to the original version as well as to the reboot started by Ronald.

Steve Majewski and Bill Bumgarner maintained PyObjC when Lele Gaifax stopped working on it.
