I'm wondering about that as well. Does it make sense to maintain two
lists of authors.  I'm fine with removing the AUTHORS.txt file and
trying to keep the about dialog up to date if no one objects.

While we are on the subject of authors, I noticed there are no credits
for our library devs.  Would the maintainers of the libraries please
send me a list of significant contributors, their email address, and the
library (component, footprint, or 3D model) to which they contributed
and I will add their names to the artists tab of the about dialog.  I
guess I should add a new tab for package devs as well since I know this
is no small task.  Please email this to me directly so we don't exposed
their email addresses on the mailing list.

Thanks,

Wayne
