[end rant] actually after re-reading Frank's email I realized I misunderstood what he was saying - I thought he said there were 42 contributors last year "not counting po file updates" (i.e. non-translators, just code contributors) but he said "not counting po file updates committed by myself" (that is without a few extra ones he committed on behalf of the translators). So I was pointing just to what I thought was an error in the counts of code contributors - I absolutely didn't want to say that translators aren't contributors and sorry if I made that impression. What Enrico suggests about exporting git history and adding other contributors from the past sounds good to me. I think it's almost guaranteed someone will be missed but the THANKS file will be more up-to-date than now. Maybe a suggestion - instead of linking to the THANKS file to github (URLs can change, etc.), the THANKS file could be installed together with Geany and the About dialog could just read it and add it as a string to the Contributors section. I can write the patch. Cheers, Jiri
