The people who made this site

These are the people who gave their time and ideas to build this site. Thank you.

Some of the people here worked on languages that aren't on the site yet. We changed parts of the Japanese after the first round of translation, so we'd like someone who speaks each language to check it against the new text before it goes up.

Translated the site into Simplified Chinese and helped the English read more naturally.
