As was noted, we now have a basic web site set up for the project:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/
I'd like to draw attention to the "Some of our contributors" page in
particular:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/people.html
From what I can tell, the intent of this page is to acknowledge contributors
to the project. And my sense was that this meant more than just committers.
I added my own name, based on my contribution to getting the initial web
site started. But I think this is probably worth having a discussion on,
especially since others, whose name has not been added, have also made
recent contributions.
Question: How should this page be managed? Is there an Apache requirement
for how this is handled? Or does each project set its own rules? If the
later, what rules do we want? Do we want this to be comprehensive? Or
highlight only the "top contributors", by some definition.
If only specific people, I doubt that we can find a rule that really all
would agreed to.
Personally, I'd favor acknowledging many, rather than few.
ACK, who is recognized as contributor/committer/member should be allowed
to add her/his name. Or ask to add if they cannot do it themselves.
In the "old" project we had a long list of people that have helped the
project and product:
http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/credits.html
Maybe we can agree to some categories to avoid having just a long list.
