Some Introductory Questions

[Fatman]

First of all I'd like to say a big thanks to all the devs working on making Code::Blocks the best they can. I know you do this in your spare time for the love of it, and it's appreciated out here in Userland I can tell you.

There are some questions that I [if no one else] would like to ask and I haven't seen the answers on the website [maybe they're on the mailing list or something]. Feel free to answer as little or as much as you'd like.

So, here goes:

Who are the Code::Blocks devs?
What cool projects have you worked on in the past?
What made you decide to make Code::Blocks?
What makes Code::Blocks different?
How about an IRC channel, maybe on FreeNode?
What's in the future for Code::Blocks?
How do you plan to increase Code::Blocks' visibility? [For example, on Google.]
Finally, why the name Code::Blocks?[/list:u]
