As I remember, his first contribution were css files for the webreport for
the visually impaired (high contrast, ...). From there he took over
maintenance of narrative web. Eg the alphabet index at the top, the
birth/death columns on the index page of people, ...
He cause us once (or twice?) to do a double release due to a bad commit
shortly before release :-)
After narweb he started coding in other plugins. Eg, he did the exif
metadata gramplet.
Well, that is just of the top of my head...
Like all of us, some things here, some things there, as time permits, for
motivations that a lot of people don't grasp.
