+Authors of the Flight Gear project.
+
+Flight Gear is a group project and has many contributors.  I have
+attempted to make a complete list of people in the ``Thanks'' file
+located in the top level directory of this file.
+
+My name is Curt Olson <curt@me.umn.edu>.  I am the primary organizer
+of this project.  I maintain the official source code and run the FG
+web site.
+
+My intention is to mention all the contributors to the FG project in
+the ``Thanks file''.  Unfortunately, being human, I have likely missed
+a few people.  If you have made a contribution, and don't find
+yourself listed in the ``Thanks'' file, ***PLEASE*** drop me a quick
+reminder.  No contribution is too small to be overlooked!!!
