Well, I saw the about dialog box, as a quick way to find useful contact
information for users and know what version of cssed they're running.

That's why I put just the translator in the current locale on the box,
because to ask for errors on translation there's no need to know who are
the other translators.

Hmmm! Do you really think there must be each contributor in the
application's About Box ?

As example Andreas - who did a great work on the design of the site -
will never be contacted by any user so there's no need to have him in
the About dialog.

I think on the about dialog as an information source, containing some=20
useful information for users.

If we bloat it will be more difficult for a user know who must he
contact regarding any issue on cssed.

That's why there're only developers and the current locale translator
there.

No problem at all to rewrite it if you think I'm wrong with this.
