2. Next Monero seems to have more articulate and reasoned devs who are around to address technical points astutely, e.g. smooth and fluffypony (is drawingthesun a Monero dev?). If dga is a dev, you need to reign him in his demeanor reflects badly on Monero.
Core team is listed on the
official Monero thread: tacotime, eizh, smooth, fluffypony, othe, davidlatapie, NoodleDoodle
It does not include drawingthesun or dga although dga has contributed code (PoW) and DTS may have contributed as well (I don't know there are a lot of contributors now).
