Gather bios for each author #239

Closed rviscomi closed 5 years ago

rviscomi commented 5 years ago

At the top of each chapter we have a short byline to say who wrote it. For example, "By Person One and Person Two" where each name is a link to the author on the Contributors page.

At the bottom we have space for a few sentences per author for a bio. This is a good place to list your qualifications for the chapter like what your day job is or other related work (projects, books, etc).

@HTTPArchive/authors can you each comment on this issue with your preferred bio? If you're writing multiple chapters it's also ok to have a custom version for each, if you'd like.
