MusicBrainz Server Development

Introduction

The MusicBrainz Server is well-known for its complexity, and developers shy away because it is written in Perl. We have been short on active developers for some time now, LukasLalinsky and RobertKaye are the guys who are currently developing the server. DaveEvans is the server maintainer. See the AUTHORS file of mb_server for a list of people who contributed in the past.
