With great pleasure we may announce the latest addition to our team: Jukka ‘Gocom’ Svahn joins the Textpattern core developer team.
Jukka has been an avid volunteer contributor of bug fixes and new features during the development of the latest releases, develops a Textpattern staple with his ‘rah’ series of Textpattern plugins, and has attended the Textpattern community for literally years.
He’s on a mission to…
…upgrade the existing code base, make it consistent up to the styling, document it and make the core tools useable by 3rd-parties.
Tervetuloa Jukka!
That’s are really great news.
I saw Jukka’s API repo on GitHub before and was really enjoyed.
