Hi,

sorry for the long silence here, it's been holiday and conferences and
work travel here for too long.

We liked the "Significant" idea very much and had almost already
settled on it when a new one came up: Notable Contributor. The levels
would then be:

Major Contributor
Notable Contributor
Contributor (see the other subthread)

How do people like that?

Frankly, "Significant" was apparently not sticking in anyone's brain,
we constantly had to look it up again because it was competing with
the other S-words "Sustained" and "Substantial". (Though I guess that
would work out if we actually chose it.)
