Given that every file has an ASF copyright, it doesn't seem necessary to me to have @author "The ASF community" or similar. I'm going to remove all my @author lines anyway, and to update project.xml with all the named authors as developers or contributors. I won't remove or modify your @author tags without your agreement, but I think it is best if they all just go away.

Ok, Jean-Francois and Stephen Colebourne added as developers. Ted and Christopher added as "contributors" (with no email info) at the moment. Guys, if you think you should be in the developers section, go ahead and change it, or send an email. > >> Remy Maucherat is a commons developer who recently contributed many > >> ideas to what eventually became the "substitution" module.

Remy, the "substitution" (and thus variable expansion) feature wouldn't exist if it weren't for you so I'm happy to put you in. Up to you...
