Expert: Peter Ledbrook
Peter is one of the core Grails committers and he has been developing with Grails since version 0.2 (give or take 0.1). He created the GWT Grails plugin as an exercise to see whether it was possible, but it has since grown into something that can support serious development. He is currently using it in his own project.
