Somebody updated the wikipedia page.
A little while ago, I just copied some info from the site to Wikipedia.org so people new more about the site and what was availible (Me persnally, I like to read up on wikipedia.org before roaming the actual product, site, etc.)
So today, I checked it which I hadn't in a while, and then I figured I'd go back right now again (To update KomPozer, and Putty Portable) and I realized somebody had put in the PortableApps.com Logo. The reason I hadn't done this is because I was busy at the time, and didn't have time to figure out how to add the image. Anyways. Whoever put that image up, thanks, hopefully we can add a box, with info about the site, e.i. type, founded, owner, etc...
So whoever put in that pic, maybe just reply to this post, as well, anybody who's interested, maybe we can update it together.
I also thought I'd include an image of the Standard PortableApps Suite, (And maybe a picture of a themed menu [perhaps the vista theme, or Johns black theme, if that's easier])
So John, if you have anything against this please let me know, I would also appreciate it if there's any information you'de like me to include.
The link of the page is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PortableApps.com
Please note, I will continue editing it, hopefully with help from others, and I've already started to get on top of things such as the TM in the Slogan.
Edit
Well, I'm not sure who this is: MMuzammils, but this is the person who updated the page on wikipedia.org, they might not even be part of the forums here probaly. But still, I'd like anybodys input on whether they'de like to help out the page.
By the way, it's alright that I copied the info about portableapps.com, because It includes that John is the founder of the site, etc, and I did e-mail him a while back, but never got an answer, and I'm no good with wikipedia format, so I don't know how to cite, but I'll get around to it.

If you want some help on the wikipedia page for PortableApps.com, drop me an email at peter.feerick at gmail.com. I'll do a screenshot of the black themed PortableApps menu tonight, and I'll up-load it tomorrow if I get the time.
I can help. Let me know at eatffl-portapp at yahoo.com (by the way, that is a disposable address, I am not that wacky about portable apps :))

I remember writing the original Portable Firefox entry for the wikipedia, cant seem to find the forum post about it though, might have been on Mozillazine.
EDIT Just looked back through the Firfox history, I made the addition on 26th March 2005, using an old username.

Those are pictures of my PAM. I feel like a star:P. Haha.
Umm, what I was gonna say is...John, do you have any typed information I (The others) could reformat and put on that page...And what else would you like me yo put? I know it's pretty bad right now, but we're working on it. So just let me know if there's anything you'de like me to change.
I don't wanna annoy you, but just if you could check out the page, and give me some minor informations I wouldn't know, like, numbr of availible languages, etc.
