The THANKS page,crediting all the people that
have helped out in the project, has just gotten a little overhaul and now
features a completely new look. We also made some extra efforts and removed
some duplicate names from it, which explains why the amount of names went
down somewhat.
Of course, if you think you are wrongly missing from the list of names, please tell us. We truly believe in giving proper credit!
