Hello Tristan,

I started an AUTHORS file for the documentation package.

This lists the credits for everyone active on the project.

I have updated this Authors file to include you, and I have attached a
copy of the updated file.

I haven't yet added all the translators because that is going to be a
major piece of work listing them all, and I have been extremely busy on
some personal family concerns over the last week.

If you can all look at the Authors file I have attached and make what
comments are needed, I will update it accordingly.

Tristan; Do you want to be referred to by your full name, or just as TJ?
And can you give me some pointers as to how to turn this Authors file
into a correct format Credits file please?

Many Thanks, and a big welcome to the team,

Helen
