Hey list, I'd like to propose that we remove all the __author__ , __date__ and __copyright__ strings from the python files in our repository.
My thinking: - This isn't an official Python style standard or universally recommended approach. It *is* used elsewhere, but there's an equally large group which consider it just unnecessary noise. - It's misleading, and presents the incorrect impression that a single person is responsible for the code in that file. That's 100% NOT the case with QGIS. - It's all redundant. This information is available in a MUCH more accurate form via git history. Are there any objections to removing this? (For completeness: In a follow up proposal I'm going to suggest removing ALL the "Date: / Copyright: / Email: " strings from our file headers, for the same reasons). Nyall
