crawl dev here! I'm generally pretty dumbstruck by the rest of the team. They're as good or better than professional groups I've worked with. A handful of super devs really drive the project along and we've had a fairly long history to develop over. My own involvement is 7 years, while I think there are others who have been hacking on it since 2005. For a lot of the time dpeg has been our de facto tastemaker/PM.

i've been impressed with how well the crawl dev team has maintained the velocity and consistent vision over the many years (5+) that i've followed the project. thank you, and well done! is dpeg the author of that section of the docs?

dpeg is probably the original author of the manifesto. Some of it is undoubtedly formed by accretion. He is also one of the originators of the contentious [Berlin Interpretation](http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Berlin_Interpretat...) of roguelikes.
