I have no problem with this. I'm even on record in the past as saying that the "contributors" list is simply too large, and to lump folks like Peter Wemm in with Charles Hannum is only an indictment of the current layout. > I would also like to see the ``Founders'' list added to this, that should However, I'm also a little wary of splitting this up to the point of being a little silly sounding. We, the founders, know who we are and it's not like there are dozens of us requiring recognition! More importantly, down this slippery lies, in my mind at least, an endless procession of catagories: "Friends", "hackers", "writers", "spiritual advisers", "groupies", "white-bearded gurus", etc.. I wouldn't want us to become figures of fun in the operating systems' world here! :-) Can we toss around some other proposals before we start making changes? Your fundamental idea has merit, don't get me wrong, but I'd rather pick 3 strong categories than 6 weak ones.. Jordan
