I'm going to clutter this up with an off-topic comment. It tickles me pink to see more and more non-US/Euro names show up as contributors. I realize Ming Lei may well be a US or EU citizen or resident, but the more "non-traditional" names show up, the more likely they come from all over the world, and that just makes me smile.

I also realize this comment could easily come off sounding rather strange and perhaps be taken wrongly, so maybe I can forestall some of that by saying again that I like this perceived change, and if I am slow to perceive it, if it has been obvious to everyone else for years and years, well, pardon me, but it still strikes me as a positive sign in so many ways that I can't help but smile and think the world is becoming a better place in many ways: Linux, free source software, expanding horizons, less poverty from the spread of technology, world peace, and more varieties of beer spreading around the world as tokens of code appreciation.

Well, more brands of pale lager, anyway :)
