> Please let me know if I've misunderstood "Wording:"'s purpose. I usually try to credit the person who wrote the bulk of the wording, even if someone else asked for seconds. I think of it as more of a credit thing than a process thing. But this is just my interpretation of something Manoj started a long time ago, so open to standardizing whatever makes sense. (I do think it would be good to mention the primary authors in the changelog, though, just as a general open source credit thing.) Hope the sprint is going well! I should be on IRC to join in starting sometime tomorrow. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
