Not to be contrarian or anything, but why isn't Pamela Fox mentioned in the title? Seems odd that she's the only omission from the photos on the front page.

Good question. When I tried to post this initially, her name was in it. But the length of the title was too long. I figured that I would just keep the creators of programming languages/libraries/frameworks since this is a site about that.
I understand your point (and just to be pedantic, only one of them actually created a language), but this is not a site about "that", it's a site about tech and while Pamela Fox has not created a popular lang/framework (not that I know at least), she has contributed a lot in many other aspects, specially when trying to educate people around tech, one example of that is her involvement in the girldevelopit chapter in SF.
Totally agree. Wish I could edit the title.
Use short names in cases like this:

Guido, John Resig, DHH and Pamela Fox

GvR
Administration: If possible, can we please have the title manually edited to include everyone?

Thanks.

Shortening David Heinemeier Hansson to DHH should do the trick for getting another name in there.
I believe only one of the listed people are the creators of languages (Rails is a framework, jQuery is a library).
No need to be nitpicky about it, he probably meant that...
Just edited that.
Only one of the four without a wiki page?
I'm wondering the same thing.
