There is one you forgot here. @Koenkk was the first develop and founder of XBian. He is still the one that maintains the XBMC builds. Then i put everything on git, created the apt repo, and recreated the core from scratch. That also attracted @hexagon. He mostly worked on the very basic off xbian-config shell with me. He left and i finished it. I later created the additional packages like the all-in-one download software. Currently @Fred is maintaining it. Also @belese came around with the idea of a xbian-config inside XBMC. He still is the main dev for that. The last dev that joined was @mk01 and he took over my role as core XBian dev.

1. Koenkk - XBMC.
2. CurlyMo - XBian Core, xbian-config shell, apt repo (retired).
3. Hexagon - xbian-config shell (retired).
4. belese - xbian-config XBMC.
5. Fred - all-in-one download package.
6. mk01 - XBian Core, xbian-config shell / xbmc, apt repo.

So here you have it. In total 6 people have contributed to XBian. The main dev has changed 3 times, but there are still 4 people working more or less on XBian. Even @belese had a break before. The big difference between Raspbmc and XBian is that the latter is very open for devvers to join (and leave) when they have great ideas. Even changing the main dev isn't an issue as long as the core value of being on the edge is maintained.

Last but not least, there is the website and hosting. First there was @Firedrunk, than @BartOtten took over after the DDOS attacks. He quit and decided to put all his efforts in SuperRepo. Currently @brantje is webmaster and hoster.

Conclusion, no worries
