Welcome to

         Angela Beesley (eh !)

         Heather Ford
         Melissa Hagemann
         Danny Hillis

         Clay Shirky
         Peter Suber
         Raoul Weiler
         Ethan Zuckerman

who have agreed to give a bit of their time and expertise, to help us 
navigate in the difficult waters of collaborative software, free 
licensing, free speech, education for all, governance, sustainability 
models...
We really appreciate.

How did we chose these people ? Either because they were already 
frequently in touch with us, or because we thought their experience 
could help. "We" is both the board and the community, as the board also 
contacted some of the people whose names showed up when I asked help on 
this list.
Is that list closed ? Of course not. Please feel free to discuss further 
additions that could be necessary in the future.
