BankTracker contributors

As with any large project, building the BankTracker was a team effort, and the editors of the Investigative Reporting Workshop want to acknowledge and thank all those who took part.

Richard Mullins, a longtime computer-assisted reporting specialist, downloaded the files from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and put them in a usable form and format.

Lisa Hill and Lynne Perri created the Web site design and the look and feel of the entire Investigative Reporting Workshop Web site.

Matt Waite and Chase Davis of Hot Type Consulting did the heavy lifting on the Django backend that makes the data accessible to Web users.
