--------------------

Summary:
Original author and current co-maintainer of the deskbar-applet module.

Detailed description:
Apart from the deskbar-applet stuff (which lots of people seem to like :-), I have also written superswitcher 
(listed on http://live.gnome.org/PowerUserTools) I blog at http://blogs.gnome.org/nigeltao, have a whopping 9 
points on bugzilla.gnome.org (for example, I'm on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320373), and been 
part of some significant discussions on desktop-devel-list 
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-May/msg00126.html and 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-November/msg00429.html)

Contacts:
The form asks "Please list individuals (frequently, but not necessarily, project maintainers) who can help 
the membership committee determine your eligibility."

Hmm... I *am* a project maintainer.  :-)  The other deskbar maintainer is Raphael Slinckx, but I'm not sure 
if he's a foundation member (if that matters).  As for GNOMEy people in general, possibly Luis Villa might 
vouch for me, although I haven't asked him and we haven't really met in person, but I do know that he likes 
the deskbar...

Previously, I have used nigel tao myrealbox com as my e-mail address, but it is now almost unusably riddled 
with spam.  I am now using nigel tao gnome gmail com
