It may thus very well be that the file is not uptodate. About a year ago I asked for volunteers to port the authors file to XML and volunteered to do the necessary hacking in the gimp about dialog. Unfortunately there wasn't much response and we are still stuck with the plain old text file. However I don't think we want to build this file automatically from CVS. We often apply patches from people that don't have CVS commit access. I'd like to see the names of the patch authors in the list of contributors but it's not trivial to extract them from the ChangeLog entries. So perhaps we should continue to update the file manually. Salut, Sven
