I just nominated Jimmy (as a representant for our little project) for the EFF Pioneer Award. Maybe others like to do the same. http://www.eff.org/awards/pioneer.html

Please everybody nominate Jimbo instead of me. The way I see it, he is our Linus Torvalds and should get the credit for the project in the same way as Torvalds gets credit for the Linux kernel (*cough* sometimes getting credit for the whole operating system).
Torvalds started the Linux kernel and makes sure things keep running more or less smoothly and on target even though most of the actual coding work is really done by hundreds of other people. Torvalds himself readily admits this. I see many similarities with Jimbo/Wikipedia.
I'm just a highly motivated foot soldier, Jimbo is the General.
