++ I'd have to hunt for where it is written down, but it can't be said enough. We should definitely be trying to acknowledge the contributions of others whenever possible. It is really the only recognition a lot of "external" contributors get, and it is the least we can do. This isn't about copyright or policy or anything like that, but just a nice thing to do, and there is no "threshold" that external contributors need to make. I wouldn't ascribe to malice what is probably just the result of oversight, but it is a good reminder whatever the case may be... -- Rich
