I think the columns there now are the right ones, but I don't think there's
enough differentiation between the two columns that have the person's name.
I haven't come up with a better suggestion, though. Maybe "Developer Page"
instead of "Bio" and have it actually show the URL you're linking to. Or
have their name link to their bio and just have a profile icon that links
to their profile, though I really hate icons for things like that on web
sites.
The name/position/nick/email/page order makes the most sense, IMO. We have
enough dependency on IRC that "nick" is pretty critical information, the
link to another page is just "extra".
