I also prefer initials. But we should make it a policy that you have  
to register your initials with SqueakMap before any code is accepted  
into an official package. Then it becomes very simple to lookup a  
name, or even display it right there in the dev tools.

Something like this will also be necessary to officially track  
contributors. The board is discussing that (and tracking historic  
contributions) with an open-source lawyer right now.
