Hmm... maybe they don't want folks to have any clue who's working on the
project? That seems odd. <grin> ;-)

Seriously... I pointed it out because there's no direct way for folks to
find out who works on Velocity Tools, without getting on the list and
asking or watching for who commits. ;-)

I just checked a few other high-profile apache sites, and most all of
them have either a "Contributes" or "Who we are" page:

http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity/contributors.html
http://struts.apache.org/volunteers.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/contributors.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/whoweare.html

The Ant page is, imho, the best:
http://ant.apache.org/contributors.html

It lists active folks with their bio's and links (hey, no reason you
gents shouldn't get a little shameless promotion so maybe O'Reilly or
Symposium folks will want you to write a book or speak at their next
gig. ;-)

And it has a section for "emeretis" folks...like, cough, perhaps Geir
might move into that category -- since we haven't heard a peep from him
in a while. <grin>

Cheers,
Timo
