I know one of the co-creators (Simon W) is quite active on HN :)

Simon wasn't a cofounder. He was an early employee/intern for LJW though. Perhaps the first person other than Jacob or Adrian to work on it.

Django was developed by Adrian and Simon, and the django site was created by Wilson Miner.

Jacob joined a little later but I think of him as a co-creator as he worked on Django substantially prior to the initial open source release, then acted as co-BDFL with Adrian for the next decade.
