Development History

The development of the Nova theme started with a prototype developed by Mythos Ruler. From there, it was developed by Geek377, gerbilOFdoom, and bstempi, with artwork by Mythos Ruler and contributions from k776. Geek377 joined the team as a designer in late November 2011; however, development really kicked off with the return of bstempi, in December 2011, who meticulously evaluated different content management systems, and selected WordPress as the new platform. gerbilOFdoom joined the team as a web developer in December 2011, and thus the development team was created.
