I hereby pronounce thee.... never mind. um. this needs more discussion. i don't like to make a tiered system where some people are held up higher than others. i just don't like to divide things. i see where you are coming from, but at the same time - people earn respect, don't have it bestowed on them. i would love to keep this as a meritocracy if possible - or as much as possible. > There also seems to be a group of contributors whom we would like to > give credit to, yet they do not have cvs access.
