History
The Wagtail project was started in 2014 by Torchbox, a digital agency. The development of the CMS evolved from being the sole action of its creators to receiving contributions from 46 external contributors by its version 1.0 in July 2015. Since then, development sprints have been organised to foster the community. During those sprints, contributors gather to work on selected topics and steer the project. As of July 2016, 257 people have directly contributed to the code and translations.
