/**
 * This class is used to store information about a person or developer.
 * It can store the person's name, a task, an email address and a
 * link to a home page. This class is intended for use in the
 * KAboutData class, but it can be used elsewhere as well.
 * Normally you should at least define the person's name.
 * Creating a KAboutPerson object by yourself is relatively useless,
 * but the KAboutData methods KAboutData::authors() and KAboutData::credits()
 * return lists of KAboutPerson data objects which you can examine.
 *
 * Example usage within a main(), retrieving the list of people involved
 * with a program and re-using data from one of them:
 *
 * @code
 * KAboutData about("khello", "khello", ki18n("KHello"), "0.1",
 *                   ki18n("A KDE version of Hello, world!"),
 *                   KAboutData::License_LGPL,
 *                   ki18n("Copyright (C) 2003 Developer"));
 *
 * about.addAuthor(ki18n("Joe Developer"), ki18n("developer"), "joe@host.com", 0);
 * QList<KAboutPerson> people = about.authors();
 * about.addCredit(people[0].name(), people[0].task());
 * @endcode
 *
 * @note Instead of the more usual i18n calls, for translatable text the ki18n
 * calls are used to produce KLocalizedStrings, which can delay the translation
 * lookup. This is necessary because the translation catalogs are usually not
 * yet initialized at the point where KAboutData is constructed.
