It's a group effort. Tim Starling and Gwicke and Shaihulud and JeLuF and 
Jeronim and even my arch nemesis Eloquence ;) have all been putting in a 
lot of work to get the new release up and running and minimize the 
inevitable growing pains. Thanks also to Jamesday and Ricky Beam for 
hardware & kernel advice, and all you folks out there filing bug reports. :D

And of course we wouldn't have the software we have today without Magnus 
Manske and Lee Daniel Crocker's work... or for that matter Clifford 
Adams' efforts on UseModWiki which got us off the ground.

Nun, revenu al la enciklopedio kaj redaktu ghis la venko! :)
