+CodeIgniter was originally developed by `Rick
+Ellis <http://www.ellislab.com/>`_ (CEO of `EllisLab,
+Inc. <http://ellislab.com/>`_). The framework was written for
+performance in the real world, with many of the class libraries,
+helpers, and sub-systems borrowed from the code-base of
+`ExpressionEngine <http://www.expressionengine.com/>`_.
+
+It is currently developed and maintained by the ExpressionEngine
+Development Team.
+Bleeding edge development is spearheaded by the handpicked contributors
+of the Reactor Team.
+
+A hat tip goes to Ruby on Rails for inspiring us to create a PHP
+framework, and for bringing frameworks into the general consciousness of
+the web community.
