Many people have contributed to the WURFL project. Here they come.

Luca Passani

  • Luca Passani (passani at eunet dot no)

    Role: Luca had the original WURFL idea. He is the WURFL architect and all the main decisions about how to organize the WURFL data come from him. Most notably, Luca came up with the fall_back mechanism which allows new devices to 'inherit' the capabilities of its predecessors and just override what is shown to be different.
    Luca also designed and implemented the WURFL Java API and the WALL tag-library.
    Company:http://www.admob.com
    Luca is based in Rome, Italy.

    In addition to device spotting, Andrea also developed PHP support for WURFL and deployed those apps in commercial environments (which goes a long way in demonstrating how good the concept is).
