Done for Joel, but I'm not sure if Richard has an account on ubuntu.ca
yet - if he does, it's not recognizable by his name or email address.

Richard - please let us know what your account name is on ubuntu.ca,
so we can bump you to "author".

Myles Braithwaite - I've also bumped your account to "author" status -
I think you're still "the voice of Ubuntu Toronto", more or less?

Everyone: Please, please please use some recognizable name when
signing up, it makes things much saner. First initial and last name is
great and easy, or (for the IRC regulars) your nick on the Ubuntu IRC
channels.

There isn't a way (far as I can see, anyway) to add "Real Name" in
addition to username on a Drupal account's information, so your
username is the only thing we can see...

I'm going to look into modifying the signup page to strongly suggest
using initial+last name - pretty sure this can be done easily.

Finally, for those newly promoted to "author" status - I think the
permissions on that user-role are sane and sensible, but please let us
know if there's something you think you should be able to do but can't
currently.

Corey, Tony & I all have "admin" status currently, but none of us have
huge amounts of experience with Drupal in a multi-user setup, so we're
learning as we go. Thanks for your participation and your patience!
