Consider that we want to encourage our developers to continue to maintain a
"bio" page like we had on the old wiki, and that most of them have
expressed a preference for working in wiki syntax vs. doing drupal pages or
drupal blogs/etc.  If we want to encourage them, we should therefore let
them do their developer bio pages on the wiki, and have those promoted to
the drupal site like anything else -- or just leave them on the wiki, since
that's the developers' site anyway.  Having the developer page on the wiki
as an index to those pages makes sense.

I'm not criticizing your HTML, the style sheets are separate and I'm pretty
sure from looking at them that no one in this project made them.  They're
most likely some kind of drupal defaults or imported theme.
