Actually you could use http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10NCode/BestContributorsSheet page for this. For example to get contributors since 8.1 (that was released on 24 May 2016) you can use http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10NCode/BestContributorsSheet?lowerBound=20160525 (there is also a upperBound URL parameter). > > 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).
