   Like I said to Andre, that is a lot different than taking over a dead   
   project, putting your name on it, compiling it, and claiming you're its   
   developer is a lot different than actually making a contribution to a   
   project.   
      
   For example, I have compiled the ProBoard source code.  Does that make me   
   its developer?  No.  Now if I went in there, fixed bugs, added features, and   
   made improvements in general, and released the compiled program, I'd still   
   not call myself a developer.  Just improved it.   
      
   With MBSE, I've contributed code, worked on the docs, and have done several   
   things yet I don't consider myself a developer; just a member of the   
   development team.
