Ok, valid point. > > I'd be for keeping the author tags when possible, removing them for > documents which have "too many" authors. So you suggest a limit, like if there are more than three authors, it's a community effort, right? Hmm, sounds reasonable, so should we change all docs containing more than three authors? But of course there is a potential problem: if someone changes a doc and adds himself to the list of authors (even if he changes only one line/word) then this doc will soon exceed the limit and gets a "community" doc with the author info removed anyway. Might not be a problem, but who knows. Carsten
