Michael Buschbeck <michael@buschbeck.net> started developing Wookee as a drop-in replacement formatter for the UseMod Wiki installation running Unreal Wiki and later created a fork off UseMod Wiki for Link-M's intranet server which then became the base for Thingy.
He's currently working as a professional software developer for ATIP, doing mostly Java-related stuff there, but manages to slip in the occasional Perl script.
