Interesting point, although if Microsoft really wanted to do that, they 
could get way more info here:

Yes, I think this is something we could really emphasise in such a table 
on the website! We'd need some quick and clear way of showing how anyone 
can get involved and make things happen, maybe linking to a blog 
interview of someone who "scratched their own itch" and achieved 
something, without going through a large corporate structure as you 
mention...

Cheers,
Mike
