Missed some points last mail. * Currently names are sorted alphabetically to avoid this becoming some kind of ranking.
* Having 1 liner credits for each developer could be nice too but with 255 devs in the list, writing all this text is a big task, at least having a blank field and allowing others to fill in could work, if someone wants to help out writing this info I dont mind adding the field. * There seems to be some unicode problems with some names, have to look into this.
