I don't think we should use the word 'project team' because there is no formal project team. Perhaps we can just have a list of people categorised by their interest in the CellML project, and then a contact page which helps people find certain people (for example, we could have a category for technical issues with cellml.org, which would list Tommy, a category for people with the ability to curate cardiac electrophysiology models, which would list James, and a category for people with an interest in cardiac electrophysiological modelling, which would list anyone who wanted to be on the list).
