FIXME


This page is severely outdated. If your name's not here, trust us - it's not out of spite, this page is just going to take a lot of editing to be worthwhile.
A thought - there should also probably (at some point) be an "Content Credits" page which associates particular pieces of 2D, 3D and Musical art with their creator (I suggest indexing by artist).

Daniel Horn VS Creator. Original Mover. Head honcho. Big cheese (though he's not big on cheese). Many years and mountains of code later, he's still here and we wouldn't be without him. Fortunately for all of us, we don't let him make all the models in Emacs anymore ;-).
