I also disagree with Stefano saying that he invented Cocoon and Forrest. > It is not *ownership* that "is the website of the dispatcher inventor: > Thorsten Scherler" claims but stating the matter of fact.

I definitely do not want us to start keeping track of who did what. That is very dangerous in open source projects. It works against community-building. As i said, where will we stop and who will we leave out and who will we include? Are we going to dig out the many things that i did for the project? No way. > wdyt?
