one note in our efforts to change this to action: the PPMC wrote or significantly changed the vast majority of the code in the main repo. The heroes that wrote the rest largely came from Twitter (in Italy work) plus close and easy to find friends of Zipkin who volunteered effort. A long tail of smaller works came from quite a few folks all with the noted CONTRIBUTORS guidance.
Does this framing help at all with next steps?
