Thanks particularly to Julian Todd (<a +href="http://www.freesteel.co.uk/wpblog/">great blog!</a>), Francis Davey, and +Etienne Pollard for using the site early on and giving feedback (and/or legal +advice!), and also to all our other users and testers. Lots of +people have been looking up FOI email addresses, and a few volunteering to +administrate the site - most especially Adam McGreggor, Alex Skene and John +Cross.
