But Be was a company and BeOS was the product of the company. Haiku is Open
Source and fame is what we do this for... :-D but seriously, I think we should
just clean up the lists like we said. I already did a cleanup once, I think
what is missing is dissolving the Team Lead list into the developer list. If we
wanted to honour the top contributors, we could look at the commit stats on CIA
and give the top 3 or 5 commiters a special mention or something.
