Honestly. I don't really think it's that big of a deal. If you pay for something in your time and would like credit for it there are lots of ways to get credit: blogs, twitters, commit logs, github stats. If I do something and I want people to think "oh look a new feature Nathan added" (or someone else s cool work) I will blog about it, else I just leave it.
We already have a list of contributors on the About box. We can make this more fancy but that can also turn the whole thing into a game of numbers and lines committed, and Jurgen will always win ;) The reality is this: 1) Some companies want to see it for record, or contract. 2) It doesn't pollute the log 3) It's at the bottom so you don't see it unless you do a full log (git log --oneline if you didn't know you can do that for short log) 4) Does it really matter? 5) The first line is all that really matters 6) I like seeing that X feature at Y point was added/funded by Z company 7) We can pull this information for the website to generate a page 1) and 4) are the most important ones. I look at the log every day, as with all devs, in short and log form, and have never once cared about that small bit of text at the end. - Nathan On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 9:52 PM, Jonathan Moules <j.mou...@hrwallingford.com > wrote: > > Every single log line has the committer's GitHub name so it isn't > anonymous. > > I know, but that also includes the paid-for devs; my point was that if > QGIS wishes to highlight those paying for work with money, then > highlighting those paying for work with time seems fair too. > > Other than that, I'm +1 your entire message and don't think anything of > the sort should be in the logs! > > Cheers, > Jonathan > > ________________________________ > > HR Wallingford and its subsidiaries uses faxes and emails for confidential > and legally privileged business communications.
