## Version 2.0 Background

Version 2.0.0 of Testimonials is a complete rewrite based upon a composite of ideas from user feedback and grokking the plugins [Imperfect Quotes](http://www.swarmstrategies.com/imperfect-quotes/), [IvyCat Ajax Testimonials](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ivycat-ajax-testimonials/), [Quotes Collection](http://srinig.com/wordpress/plugins/quotes-collection/), and [TB Testimonials](http://travisballard.com/wordpress/tb-testimonials/). Thank you to these plugin developers for their efforts that have helped inspire this rewrite.

Prior to version 2.0.0, this plugin was a fork of [Quotes Collection](http://srinig.com/wordpress/plugins/quotes-collection/) by [Srini G](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/SriniG) with additional contributions from [j0hnsmith](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/j0hnsmith), [ChrisCree](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/ChrisCree) and [comprock](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/comprock).
