Hi, Thank you for your votes.
I have created a dedicated section for this step http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleasePlans/ReleasePlanHelp#HGenerateCodeContributorslist and move it outside of the #HAnnouncementMail step. Currently we will list the contributors only in the Release Notes. Since there is no current way now to automate getting the translators and testers, the section focused on code contributors. Maybe in the future we will add additional contributors if people are interested. I've updated the ReleasePlanTemplate and thanks to Marius who updated the ReleaseNoteTemplate. 8.2RC1 is the first release to list the contributors, check it out http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki82RC1/ Thanks, Caty On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 7:05 PM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 > > On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 6:03 PM, Alexandru Cotiuga > <[email protected]> wrote: > > +1 > > > > Thanks, > > Alex > > > > On Fri, Jul 8, 2016 at 7:02 PM, Marius Dumitru Florea < > > [email protected]> wrote: > > > >> +1 > >> > >> Thanks, > >> Marius > >> > >> On Sun, Jul 3, 2016 at 12:59 AM, Eduard Moraru <[email protected]> > >> wrote: > >> > >> > Hi, > >> > > >> > +1 for contributors in the RN > >> > > >> > Thanks, > >> > Eduard > >> > > >> > On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 8:27 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> > >> > wrote: > >> > > >> > > > >> > > > On 30 Jun 2016, at 18:40, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > > > > >> > > > Hi Caty, > >> > > > > >> > > >> On 30 Jun 2016, at 18:32, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < > >> > [email protected]> > >> > > wrote: > >> > > >> > >> > > >> Hi, > >> > > >> > >> > > >> Since May 2015 we added in the Release Plan Help a step that > >> collects > >> > > the > >> > > >> list of code contributors of a release and lists them in the > >> > > announcement > >> > > >> mail. > >> > > >> > >> > > >> IMO this is a nice way to acknowledge and thank people that are > >> > > >> contributing to XWiki. > >> > > >> > >> > > >> I want to propose that we add this contributors list in the > Release > >> > > Notes. > >> > > >> Release Notes are accessible when someone wants to downloads > XWiki > >> and > >> > > they > >> > > >> are also referenced as documentation when we close issues, while > the > >> > > >> mailinglist are read just by the people that are subscribed. > >> > > >> > >> > > >> This visibility increase will be beneficial to thank participants > >> and > >> > > also > >> > > >> maybe motivate other users to join the development. > >> > > >> > >> > > >> We could have this listing both in the Release Notes and the > >> > > Announcement > >> > > >> Mail, but I believe it's sufficient in the Release Notes (let me > >> know > >> > if > >> > > >> you disagree). > >> > > >> > >> > > >> This change would imply: > >> > > >> - Change in the Release Plan to add this step > >> > > >> - Change in the Release Plan Help to document the process > >> > > >> - Change the Release Notes Template to add the Contributors > section > >> > > >> > >> > > >> The Release Manager would compute the code contributors, but > >> > additional > >> > > >> people could add themselves in case they contributed > translations or > >> > > >> performed tests (which usually happen after the release, so it's > >> hard > >> > to > >> > > >> put this responsibility on the shoulders of the RM).
