<p>LensKit development began at <a href="http://grouplens.org">GroupLens Research</a> at the <a href="http://www.cs.umn.edu">University of Minnesota</a> and is now coordinated by the <a href="http://coen.boisestate.edu/piret/">People and Information Research Team (PIReT)</a> at <a href="http://coen.boisestate.edu/cs/">Boise State University</a>. We welcome contributions from developers anywhere.
LensKit work is made possible by support from a number of organizations:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Multiple <a href="http://grouplens.org">GroupLens Research</a> projects, particularly <a href="http://www.movielens.org">MovieLens</a> and <a href="https://booklens.umn.edu/">BookLens</a>, use LensKit in production, providing experience, bug reports, and other valuable feedback (and code).  We also maintain <a href="/users/">list of LensKit users</a>.</li>
  <li>Development has been funded in part by the National Science foundation (under grants IIS 05-34939, 08-08692, 08-12148, and 10-17697).</li>
  <li>YourKit is kindly supporting the project with free licenses for the <a href="http://www.yourkit.com/java/profiler/index.jsp">YourKit Java profiler</a>.</li>
