Hi Domingo,

Apologies, those credits come from *just* the po file headers.

There are certainly more than 665 unique contributors to the project. I 
would go so far to say that the files in the Fedora Localization Project 
represents one of the largest, most unique projects in the history of 
open source. I want others to add to this history in these files. You 
and this project bring the desktop in our mother tongues to all the 
countries' children.

Cheers,

- Mike
