Thunderbird/Community Members

This page aims to list the community members who are currently contributing any type of work to the Mozilla Thunderbird project on a regular basis.

The form (e.g. list/table) and order or appearance is under consideration and new people/tasks are still added. The page is currently maintained by aceman.

Warning: This document is work in progress.

(I am thinking about linking to the mozillians.org profile of each contributor. I'd like all contributors listed here who have a Mozillians profile to review the data there and set up the fields which are OK to be displayed for public view.)
