I have information about Rhys Weatherley, but who is Saurik? Jay
Freeman? Is he a Ximian Worker?

Is Sam Ruby a ECMA committee worker?

The Labs1 team? A group of Ximian programmers?

All these people were part of the Labs1 team?

A new Ximian worker, isn't it?

I'm sorry for my ignorance and my curiosity, but I think that it's an
