Well, I don't know much about the dev team names and didn't the french/italian versions. However could someone (devs or core members) do an "official" english well-organized wikipedia page? I could then translate it to portuguese and others could do the same for others languages. Better than have different content/versions among several languages like is becoming now.

The last thing Tommy committed was a minor bugfix on May 5. Mike committed the nascent love.font and a few other things near the end of July 2009, and hasn't done anything LÖVE-related since.

We should at least list ourselves here. I'm going to bed though, sorry.

I would, but I don't know what to put under each of the headers:

Primary programming language
Bindings
Cross-platform?
SDL?
2D oriented
Scripting
Notable games
References

Fill in the above blanks and I'll use my account to edit it.

Primary programming language - Lua, obviously
Bindings - Er?
Cross-platform? - Yush
SDL? - I don't believe so.
2D oriented - Yush
Scripting - Yush
Notable games - Idk, life maybe? (:3)
References - Urgh, maybe link to a bunch of devs?

Well, they don't all have to be filled. And references was just going to link to this site. I don't see how they could remove it from that page if it actually does exist and you actually can make games with it.

I think they mean alternate scripting interfaces for "bindings" (for example, primary programming language is C++, but there are bindings so you can write programs for it in Python/Lua/Ruby/D/Forth/Objective C/Lisp/BrainFuck/etc.)

Well, unless someone else wants to take the risk of editing it and hoping it stays, just tell me what to put and I will put it.

So no bindings, and notable games -- I can only think of Fistful of Beef, as a genuinely finished, polished, fun game that's gained some traction. Or perhaps Frock, which was featured on the GitHub blog, although that's not really a game.
