LiteSwitch X is based on Proteron's freeware and open source application "LiteSwitch" for Mac OS 8/9 and incorporates the latest technologies available to Mac OS X developers.  Ammon Skidmore is the lead developer and the design is based on ideas from Ammon and Proteron co-founder Sam Caughron.  Adam Astley provides support in many capacities, too numerable to mention.  Mat and Neill, late members of the Proteron team, were part of the birth of LiteSwitch X.  Though they are no longer active members of the team, they have not been forgotten.
