Maybe I didn't explained myself. Perhaps instead of developers, I should
have said contributors. What I wanted to say is that there are more ways of
helping GRASS than just write code (or bugfix).  And one of this ways is
just improve documentation. And we usually don't pay attention to this. 

That's why I think Moritz is a developer or (maybe better) a contributor
(but not a coder). The word developer come from what I understood of
Bernhard comments to my initial proposal for a new web structure.

Anyway, I see your point, so I'll pay attention to the wording.

I thought the interview was a good election, but now I've started to doubt.
But I hope the whole issue will be a good start, and that we'll enjoy it.
