The primary contributors at the time were:
Mark Lee
The next release of the software, RL-Glue 2.0 in 2007, introduced the socket communication architecture.
RL-Glue 2.0 was created by:
Andrew Butcher

The current release adds new languages (Matlab and Lisp), new example projects, platform-specific distributions, install programs, extensive documentation, and more. The primary developer of RL-Glue 3.0 is Brian Tanner.
