    I didn't know a company name, so I leave it empty. Should we maybe use "Frhed" as company name?

    As author and contact names could we maybe use "Frhed Team"? But I don't know, what we should use as country...

    Or use "Raihan Kibria" as author?

    I think we should just use "N/A" for fields that we can't give good info, like country or town.

    > Should we maybe use "Frhed" as company name?
    Sounds ok.

    > As author and contact names could we maybe use "Frhed Team"?
    Sounds OK too.

    > Or use "Raihan Kibria" as author?
    No. Raihan is of course the original author, but we don't want to direct support request or other contacts about current project for him.
