Hi Wido, We have a file named Author_Group.xml. We must fill in the details of the authors. Getting the credit encourages the people to contribute even more.
Other projects, such as GNOME, gives credit to the contributors. Also, whenever a query comes to documentation, it is easier to track who contributed. We can always vote it in/out.

(Remember the CLA?) As a group we are contributing to the project as a group, the CloudStack brings out a new release, not the individual members. So I'm not sure that we should mention the individual contributors to the documentation, I don't think so. Wido > Thanks > -Radhika >
