This is a list of contributors. It covers the history of the project. It does not specify current or past. It's just giving credit where due. That credit is still due. *MOST* of the people in this list are not current contributors. > > FWIW, yes, Nórín's contributions were, and remain, significant and worth as > > much mention as anyone elses. > OK, but the question was not whether they were significant and worth > mention, but whether they were *major*. I'm not about to go through and designate whose contributions were "major" and whose were not. That does not seem, in any way, a helpful designation. I will not be removing Nórín's mention on this page. The existing designation of "Other major contributors" goes back to the ancient times, and, as I understand it, signifies people who were never formally part of the committer list. Regarding Joe's entry, I'm not sure when or why that was removed, but I don't have current information for him. He can put that info in if he wishes. This page is self-managed - that is, committers can, if they wish, put their information in here. Or not, if they don't. The bulk edit earlier this month was intended to clean up obviously wrong info, and PII. We can, of course, discuss this further on the dev@ list if you like, but I relly do feel that the page is as it should be. There is no consensus on the dev@ list as to what to do with this page, and until there is, I'm not really inclined to spend a lot of time on it. Just speaking for myself, I am *very* reluctant to remove any citations or credit. This project is a group effort, and everyone's contributions are important. I'm definitely not going to go so far as to designate some as "major" or more important than others. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
