Thank you everybody for making what is a great release.  Dirk, translations
or not, your efforts go well beyond 753 commits.

Yes, your numbers are misleading.  I don't think I deserve to be as high on
the list.  But many little commits was your advice.

A very healthy project.  A few months ago I had never written a line of c.
But I am an avid diver and such a good piece of free software backed by a
friendly and clever team of developers encouraged me to become involved.
Then I taught myself to read (part of) the code.  To everybody, but Dirk
and Robert especially, thank you for taking the time to review my
contributions.

One day c++ and qt might even make sense to me.
