Graeme - the Grails bug buster

While testing Reposita with the Grails repository, I was amazed about Graeme who is the Grails project lead and recently became the CTO of G2One.

Scanning the Grails subversion commits and searching for bug fixes, Graeme seems to be a very very active bug buster. One in four commits is a bug fix. Perhaps this directly contributes to the Grails success story. I hope he keeps up fixing bugs, now that he’s CTO.

See for yourself:

Stephan - you’re right Graeme’s da man when it comes to code, he is the lead dev after all. But what about the sterling contribution made by people who raise huge amounts of jira issues eh? :)

Graeme’s using radeox to generate some Grails docs I think… I feel some synergy coming on!

Marc - best to have users and testers to find bugs. Without them, people won’t be able to fix them. I’ve added to the Grails JIRA too.

Radeox seems to be everywhere :-)
