Hi people! Perhaps you remember that effort started some months ago to try to get a good listing of Rails contributors:
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/browse_thread/thread/7554c8c5a25b4765 I got plenty of feedback and kept maintaining the list in this gist: http://gist.github.com/20721 I am happy to announce that we've turned that script into a simple webapp that will run under contributors.rubyonrails.org or www.rubyonrails.org/contributors. You can check it out now without design at http://rails-contributors.hashref.com/ I am very glad this is going to be public, it gives credit to hundreds of people that have contributed to the project (about 1400 at this moment). And it is a good indicator in my view of the agility and openness of Rails as an open source project. Also you can just point to that data when someone says it is hard to contribute to Rails, a myth I've heard sometimes. The app is mostly finished at this point, I may add some caching and more tests but that's it. The current name normalization is explained here: http://rails-contributors.hashref.com/names_mapping If you know of anyone who may help wit the design that'd be really great! If you discover any missing name equivalence please just PM me somewhere. -- fxn PS: http://github.com/fxn/rails-contributors/tree/master --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
