-----------------------------------------
Summary: Remove/replace the contributors lists in the README and
on https://storm.apache.org/contribute/People.html
Key: STORM-2899
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2899
Project: Apache Storm
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Stig Rohde Døssing
Assignee: Stig Rohde Døssing
Priority: Trivial
Fix For: 2.0.0
We've talked a few times on the mailing list about removing or replacing the
contributors lists, because they are not really being maintained because
keeping them up to date is a manual process.
The last time this was discussed
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/storm-dev/201712.mbox/browser, there
seemed to be some consensus for using Flink's scripted solution to generate the
contributors list. It was also suggested that having the contributors list at
all was maybe unnecessary.
In order to avoid having this discussion again in a few months, I'll submit a
PR that removes the contributors list from the README and site and replaces it
with a link to https://github.com/apache/storm/graphs/contributors, because
it's the simplest solution in terms of release process (no extra step to
generate the contributors list).
If there are strong feelings for using Flink's solution to generate a
contributors list instead, people will hopefully chime in on the PR review, and
we can make changes as necessary.
