Today I decided to finally do what I've been planning to do for a long time: move stuff out of the contributors article and instead place it under www/. I started with the teams etc and you can see the results here (nowhere near finished yet though): http://people.freebsd.org/~joel/wii/team.html So, why bother anyway? Well: - Better information about what the different teams do and what their responsibilities are. Our developers are generally very confused when it comes to finding the right person to talk to, for example when requesting repo-copies or new perforce accounts etc. This will hopefully improve the situation somewhat. - The translation teams generally don't translate the contributors article since it doesn't seem to be worth the effort. Hopefully this will change now, since this can be quite important information even for non-English speaking people. - Email addresses are not completely visible anymore. - This information does not really belong in an article. - This is more up-to-date and includes a lot more teams etc. Feedback much appreciated. I'd be grateful if someone could help me out with writing more descriptions of the various teams. Also, if someone could triple-check the document for obvious mistakes, such as wrong team members on the wrong teams etc, that would be great. I haven't really decided where to put it yet, or what to call it, so suggestions are welcome here as well. It's late here and I'm *so* tired, so sorry for any typos... -- Joel
