<XSLT:Blog /> welcomes Uche Ogbuji, Mike Brown, EXSLT.org and subsequent contributors, 4Suite.org via the Fourthought Corporation, and Saxonica, Ltd. to the "Legends of the XSLT Community"

In what is an obvious oversight of inidividuals and organizations who should have been listed from the beginning <XSLT:Blog /> would like to welcome the following individuals and organizations to the "Legends of the XSLT Community".

• Uche Ogbuji
• Mike Brown
• EXSLT.org
• 4suite.org via Fourthought

Although Dr. Kay has always been listed, Saxonica has not. So in addition to the above I would also like to welcome Saxonica, Ltd. as a very deserved member of this list of inidividuals and now entities who make up this exclusive list of XML and XML Transformations professionals and organizations.

I plan to follow-up this post in the coming weeks with specifics to why each member of the "Legends of the XSLT Community" deserves a spot on this list. But I don't think anybody who knows of these individuals or the contributions they have made to the support and further development of XSLT and related technologies will question my reasoning. My apologies to all of you of whom I have just added for not realizing before now that you were absent from this list. I thank each of you (specific to Uche and Mike and collectively to the organizations in which have now been listed) for all of your past, present, and ongoing contributions you have and I know will continue to make to the XSLT community as a whole.

Cheers to all of you and, again, thank you!
