Alphabetical order

I made this alphabetical by first name because, with the use of various nick names, sorting by last name would be problematic at best. Having "Frost, Shock" on the list would seem a bit silly.

I think TheSheep should be under "S" and the DevTeam under "D" --Kisielewicz 22:11, 26 May 2005 (CEST)

Well, I really don't know what's best here. I, for sure, like looking for the last name better than for the first name, but this is only my liking. Nicknames throw things away anyway.
"TheSheep" being a complete nickname, it makes sense to list it under "T". At the same time, I'm sure many people would look for it under "S". Maybe we should explain at the beginning of the article how it was ordered.
Oh, and I don't want you to believe I'm twisting articles to my point of view. If what I did doesn't appeal to you, feel free to change it. :) — Poulpy 23:04, 26 May 2005 (CEST)

TheSheep is only here as TheSheep. Usualy he signs with "The Sheep" (personaly I think someone typed him in wrong). And it's a standard practice to ommit the "The" in alphabetical lists.

Anyway, I think we (and especialy you) are doing a lot of grat stuff here now, so no reason to fight over such nuisances :-) --Kisielewicz 01:41, 27 May 2005 (CEST)

On his homepage, we indeed wrote "The Sheep", so I'm going to move his article accordingly. (And thank you very much! :o) ) — Poulpy 14:31, 27 May 2005 (CEST)

Should non-developers be listed here?

Twisted/Neo/InsertLastestLameAlias isn't a developer and never will be. Nor does he claim to be.

David Damerell is also not a developer and does not claim to be, although I consider possible that he might one day become one.

If we're including in the developers list people who don't do anything but sometimes toss some ideas around, where is the line being drawn? Who belong on this list then? Anyone who ever posted to r.g.r.d.? I think maybe a list or at least a separate category on this list for "other persons of interest" might be better. Rdanhenry 07:57, 27 Apr 2007 (CEST)
