New "About PortableApps.com" Page - Thoughts? Additions?

I've finally updated the About Us page with all our new folks. I've added in all the current developers with released apps, site admins, forum mods and translators. I used full names for all the folks with updated usernames (I know I'm behind on some of these). I haven't yet linked the translators to their profiles but I'll be working on it.

Check it out here:
https://portableapps.com/about

If I've left anyone off, if anyone would like their full name listed or if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Smile

Dont forget

that we have almost all pages translated into german. Smile
Thats mostly Marko's, Andreas's and my work and I really think it should be integrated better into the whole page system!

(Its not that we/I want more credits, I just think that after we did all the work someone who doesnt know about it should be able to find and use it.)

Two suggestions:

What about

Designers and Themers

They help keep our apps look stunning.

?

And maybe have a list who of the devs did which Apps?

Coming

That's coming. Now that we're on Drupal 6 we'll be integrating it into the actual pages. It'll be a bit of work to get it working and I need to figure out how to make that transition. But, basically, every page on the site will have translations associated with it and keyed to a prefix. /de in the case of German. We'll probably need to take it offline and mess with it for a day while we set it to /de2 so it doesn't impact the existing pages. But once we've got it done, we'll be able to key it from URLs or even from a browser's default language Smile

Oh and I think 'looking stunning' makes more grammatical sense.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

my translation for: "They

my translation for:

"They help keep our apps look stunning." is "Sie helfen uns unsere Programme umwerfend ausehen zu lassen."

based on the translation for "look stunning" from here:

There are 4 others coming

But I felt odd putting them on the page and making people think they can blame them for the inadequacies of the current Platform when it's not their fault. I thought it was better to leave it out entirely (it doesn't say I work on the Platform either right now) until we're working off SVN. And yes, I'm working on it. I wound up stuck working on some paying work and under the weather this week, but I'll be getting the 1.5 alpha out and up on SVN next week.

Hopefully unlike the March

Hopefully unlike the March one.
But I couldn't really care because I don't have a clue what SVN is for.

Might

it be a good idea to have a standardised bit of bio that we can build on so that if people want any more info they can click on the profile link to find it?
