Have you looked at the FreeBSD.org frontpage?  I quote:
"It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals"
The last part is a link to this article.  This is confusing, since
people that follows this link probably expects some kind of information
about our developers, certain teams, etc, not a bunch of old donor
entries.

Perhaps you didn't read my mail.  It's outdated.  "All" current
donations can be viewed at http://www.freebsd.org/donations/donors.html
