Oops, meant to send this to the list... ---------- Forwarded message ----------
OK, what I'm doing was Cyrille's good idea. It's documented in #86375. Basically, the idea is: app/authors.h is the master list of contributors now (split into authors/documentors). The about box and --credits are generated from this (so, yes they are hardcoded in at compile time). This is what the patch I just submitted does. I intend to submit another one which contains modifications to the makefile stuff to auto generate AUTHORS from dia --credits. But this will take me a while I think to learn all the automake stuff. Hence why I'm submitting this patch first. I'd also like the website credits to be auto-generated via a similar mechanism if possible. And whilst you may have 'no say' (I doubt this very much!) I'm always willing to listen to criticism. I'm trying to help out w/ Dia but am building up slowly and there's probably lots of stuff I'm missing! Cheers, Andrew.
