As all the other writers, I would like to thank all who worked/still working 
on this project. It's really a lot of fun (even if my laptop still gets 
really hot sometimes ;)) and for me, as a "newbie", I learned a lot.

Matthias, you are one of the most amazing guys, who is reviewing the patches 
in bugzilla, who is/was uploading, explaining etc. pp. When I see the 
transition list, your nick comes first :) GREAT! DOKO ROCKS! 

A big "Thank You" also to Oliver and Daniel, these two MOTUs are wonderful 
people, helpfull, friendly, and helping out wherever they can (Daniel, Good 
Luck with your university work, this has to be Prio 1 :))

And Ivoks :) GREAT WORK :) I'm honoured to work with u :)

So, back to the real life ;)
