Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: FWIW including Misc/ACKS in the doc will probably break the generation of the pdf version of the doc, since it contains non-latin1 characters (see msg166408). I don't think it's necessary to include the names in the doc.

In my experience Doc/ACKS.txt is mostly ignored/unmaintained. I did a lot of work on the docs and my name is not in there, and I don't think I ever added anyone there. > If people need to be acknowledged separately for contributing to the > documentation, I think only major contributions (such as writing the > documentation for a yet-undocumented module) should be explicitly > acknowledged. It's already possible to give credit directly in the docs using directives like "sectionauthor". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15439> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
