As there should be. Contributors keep their copyright. Authors should get as much and as explicit of credit as we can possibly give them. People probably don't remember the early days of Sage, but there was often a belief that the project would be *impossible* due to the math culture in which authorship had to be clearly maintained. Many people sincerely thought that the GAP or PARI developers would be very angry that their system was used in Sage, and that people wouldn't contribute since their contributions wouldn't be acknowledged. > sometimes they > have to do something with each other, sometimes not, sometimes there are > huge additions done > by people without adding their names to either of these fields... > It's a mess. I don't think we should impose a ton of bureaucracy on the AUTHORS blocks. However, we should definitely not have reviewers asking people to remove their names from it, and not removing other people's names either. -- William > > >>> >>> IMHO we need an official policy on this. >>> >>> >>>> >>>> -- William >>>> >>>> > documentation but these information, like TODO and TESTS, is not >>>> > usually >>>> > what the user expects to see in the doc.
