  Something about this idea .. feels wrong.

  Guys like Ben Rockwood don't make a lot of noise on the OpenSolaris site
but he is clearly a huge voice to be heard.  I make a lot of noise but am
not necessarily a great contributor.  Guys like Rich Teer are rarely heard
from but he is a real leader and has been for many years.

  For whom do we speak ? OKay .. I am not a pinko socialist type yet I think
that putting up particular individuals names on the website or a T-shirt
is not hitting the right audience?  Isn't that like "preaching to the
choir" while people wander lost and unsaved out there in the streets ?
