hi, Why not ? I think Contributors chapter is good in handbook. But we can do it in more cheaper way. All contributors can be listed in simple text file (japanese folks provided this idea some time ago). It will allow us not to maintain few BIG sgml files, but generate it on build time. And also we can make its build conditional (like PGPKEYS). Just MHO.
