Project admin

There's a bunch of administrative stuff that needs to be done in a project like this. Things like looking after the repository and commit rights, the build machines, various support services (eg Transifex), managing the money, paying for domain registration and hosting, that sort of thing. That's handled quietly by robn and jpab. Yell at one of us if you have any questions.

AUTHORS

We list everyone that has ever contributed to the project (even a single-character tweak) in the AUTHORS.txt file.
