I have been messing with the AUTHORS, MAINTAINERS and PLUGIN_MAINTAINERS files. I have been checking the information and making little xml tags for them. I started to use docbook style tags for them. I will limp along with this "overkill" method of tagging things (as Syngin and Simon have suggested) unless someone can over an alternative. Also, if you are mentioned in one of these files, please check that your information is accurate and email me one way or another. Especially if you would like to avoid any incomprehensible mail from me in the near future. Mr. Neary, nice thread. carol
