Hi Gorkem,

As a "User" in this case, I always find it interesting to get an idea
what people (or companies) are behind an actual project. Quite recently,
for instance, this allowed me to type in the name of a project lead into
EclipseZilla and get the list of the talks that person was doing. When
clicking further brings me to an actual photograph of a person (As I've
been doing myself on the Wiki and eclipsezilla, for instance), adds even
more to a personal presence and gives an impression of caring for the
community.

Funny as it may be, but when I communicate with people over E-Mail or
Newsgroup I like having a rough idea of what they look like. And I do
believe that this (slightly) can add to the quality of discussions...
Not as much as meeting somebody personally at, say, EclipseCon, but in a
subtle manner.

But that's just my personal thoughts.

Cheers,
Martin

Added the plan link to the left menu. It was also available under the
news item. Adding the team page will take more time and effort. I am not
sure I follow the contact argument, we have the newsgroups and the
developer mailing list, listed on the main page. Are we looking to add
some bilateral communication?
