  79. [WWW]Tim Swanson "Not only do I fully support whatever esperanto-based standard(s) rises from this fusion of far-reaching talent, but I volunteer my Photoshop services to laboriously render a 80x15 image of the finalized name (don't choose 'Be,' 'Chia' or 'Firebird' por favor)."

  80. [WWW]Laura Trippi "A roadmap for post-RSS peace! The main thing is, we need better tools to take back the infosphere from the media oligarchy -- and talk amongst ourselves."

  97. [WWW]Cates "must be the most serious contender"

  98. [WWW]Ashish Shetty "I wish there were a better way to authenticate using Atom. Don't get me wrong: the Base64(SHA1(Nonce+CreationTime+Password)) method described by Mark Pilgrim at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/12/17/dive.html has a simplistic elegance."

  99. [WWW]Jonathan Jeon "I'm in too"

  100. [WWW]Antone Roundy "...I'm happy to do my little part to make Atom the best it can be..." Since then, I've gotten a lot more involved.
