Hi devs/contributors/everyone, This is an interesting article forwarded to me by Ludovic: http://buytaert.net/a-method-for-giving-credit-to-organizations-that-contribute-code-to-open-source
I’ve been thinking a bit about it and the simplest solution I could think of (if we ever wanted to do something in this direction) would be: * Add a new custom field in JIRA called “Sponsored By”. Since all our commits have associated JIRAs this should work fine to recognize everyone. * Then we can easily query JIRA on a wiki page to provide visibility about companies and individuals sponsoring the development of XWiki. * For example we could have a new page available in the Contribute menu of the top level horizontal menu called Sponsors which would: - list all committers: link to the Hall of Fame page (http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/HallOfFame) - list all Supporters: link to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Supporters - list all sponsors: query JIRA and list all sponsors including # of issues sponsored with ability to clean on each sponsor and go in JIRA itself to see the details WDYT? Would you be interested in this? Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
