not sure it would have the same impact as what is presented now in the
"legacy" page with the list of names, but, that's OK I guess. I would
certainly want to keep the wiki "self post" aspect.

If we moved the information from:

http://openoffice.apache.org/people.html

over to the website on a new "/welcome/credits.html", I think I would keep
this statement (well even that needs to be changed) with its link to
"about" which could also use some also use some changes and link back to
the project site.
