Could we consider putting countries in the Contributors list at some point? I
think it would encourage more people from outside the US to become
contributors. Currently the project is imbalanced, with 2/3 of our users
outside the US (or more) and 1/2 our contributors inside the US. A lot of
that has to do with employers, of course, but we should give all the
encouragement we can.
