definitely :)

sorry about beeing so sloppy about the authors file - looks like i
completely forgot about it :-/

active developers are those who either work on xine now (with cvs write
access) or who worked on xine in the past and are still around, accepting
patches / answering emails / ...

contributor is anybody who sent in at least one significant patch (>10
lines changed or important bug fixed ... something like that) that made
it into cvs.

so, feel free to add yourself to the contributors list. you can also add
yourself to the webpage ... erm, well, i think you could add yourself to
the webpage if it was currently in cvs ;-> ... sorry, the webpage is
still in a transitional stage, i think siggi has agreed to maintain it
for now. anyway, i think you definitely qualify for the "credits" section
and, if you want to participate in that, the sponsoring page - just mail
siggi a wishlist :)

cheers,

   guenter
