I agree that removing author tags eliminates one of the big attractions
for casual contributors. To compensate we should definitely be more
proactive about giving people credit in other ways. Perhaps we can
come up with a more automated way of showing contributions. Any ideas?

I believe mentioning of individual contributions in the change log should suffice.
Compilation of the change log involves CVS commits mining anyhow. We just need to be
doing a better job keeping the change log up to date. Some sort of process automation
would be nice, for sure.

Hi,
Thanks for reply. I upgraded HttpClient to version 2.0. However, it doesn't make a
difference. I am still having the status code 302 Found returned from the 3rd party
host.
Any other suggestions?

My understanding of human psychology leads me to think that whomever came
up with this idea has underestimated the importance of the @author tags to

As far as timing goes, we can be pretty flexible I think. My preference
would be to stop adding author tags now and begin putting people on a
thank you list. We can then migrate existing @authors when the time
seems right, (i.e. whenever someone gets stuck doing it).

We had this same conversation on commons-dev. This does appear to be a
contentious issue. Personally I don't really mind if my name appears
in a file or not. I think it is all about the community.
There is a difference between the developer and the contributor though.

I don't think that the final word has been said on the use of @author

Jeff,
(nice to hear from you BTW)
Sung-Gu has basically done all the work on URI related classes. He was
quite active when I joined the project (proxy and SSL patches,
remember?) Last I heard from him was when we had a major argument about
a method that messed with encodings and he was
To make it easier for us, we could even have people compose and maintain
