The Interchange development group has welcomed two new members into its core team.
Peter Ajamian ("pj" in IRC) is originally from Southern California
and now lives in New Zealand.
Peter has Interchange experience dating from 2002,
has helped several people on the interchange-users mail list and has
supplied a number of patches to the Interchange core.
His first submission, as an official Interchange core developer,
was to provide support for the NetBilling payment gateway.
Gert van der Spoel ("thunder" in IRC) is a Dutch developer
who started using Interchange in 1999.
Gert has just moved from The Netherlands to Greece,
where he has started a new company.
He has contributed a Greek translation to the Interchange admin UI
and plans to work on integrating support for the UTF-8 character set.
Both are regulars in the interchange-users mail list
and in the interchange IRC chat channel at
irc.icdevgroup.org 
.
