There is also the Developers Bios page (http://wiki.scummvm.org/ 
index.php/Developers_Bios).
This has to be updated manually by each person though (for example  
Yotam is missing from that page I think). And the page is not easy to  
find currently.

We could also use the Dynamic Page List extension to generate a page  
automatically based on e.g. the info from the User template. This  
would force wiki editors to use the User template on their user page  
(which Yotam - again - did not do ;) ). Jordi has an example of this  
with the Project Services page. The normal page is fully written by  
hand:
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Project_Services
And here is the page automatically generated (if you edit the page  
you will see there is very little text there):
http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User:Jvprat/Sandbox

I can do the same for the wiki users if you want, starting with the  
info that are currently given in the User template (nickname, true  
name, working on, website/blog link and email). Then we can think  
about adding some more info. We might also want not to give all the  
info on that page to keep it concise. Using that solution, the only  
think everybody would have to do is use the User template on their  
user page and keep the info up to date there.
