This needs some revision. Since someone is listed who deals with
Doc-Book, I could be mentioned as dealing with LinuxDoc as I've
written a HOWTO on it and submitted bug reports that finally got a few
bugs fixed. And at one time I took a brief look at the scripts that
run the translation of sgml to html and plain text. Martin Wheeler is
missing from this list. And shouldn't jdd be added to it?

This seems to imply that the wiki aspect of LDP is replacing the
depository aspect. It's not. There's no need for LDP people to thank
each other. Authors should get thank-you notes once in a while from
readers, with the note often added to an email reporting "bugs" in the
doc. Also, David Merrill deserves a lot of thanks but is not longer
around.
