In my opinion, Adam has well earned GNOME foundation membership.
His contributions to GNOME include his work on Epiphany-Extensions,
which, while not yet part of the GNOME Desktop, has led to improvements
in the APIs Epiphany provides to extensions. He is the author of the
Epiphany popup blocker extension, which is slated to be incorporated
into Epiphany for GNOME 2.8. He also is the author of another Epiphany
extension, which provides off-line error-checking and standards
validation equivalent to the on-line version at w3.org (error-viewer
extension). He is a good QA tester, having found, filed and fixed
numerous bugs in Epiphany and in Epiphany-Extensions. And he is proving
a valuable Epiphany core team member by single-handedly writing the
Epiphany API documentation.
