Thanks Andy for noticing, it's fixed now.
Yes, we're basically asking for references (but in a less formal way). Our goal is to have some people to ask, if necessary, to confirm that the applicant is involved in the projects he/she mentions.

There is a duplicate question:

    How can your participation benefit to the community? Which kind of
    knowledge, expertise, point of view can you bring into the event? *

also, I found:

   Who are you regularly working with and can support your
   application (other community members, tools developers, etc.)? *

confusing. Are you asking for references? Wil you be following these up?
