Two ideas: 1. Expand Colophon.xml (and corresponding source wiki page) to include _every_ contribution (and tool for builds-from-source notes.) This is where the long list of one day translators goes, and so forth. 2. We add ''significant'' contributors to the Author_Group.xml (and corresponding source wiki page). Significant is, perhaps, anyone who helps in this compilation with one or more copyrightable works? Some value we set and apply by consensus? Author_Group.xml makes the list of names in the front page, in order of block in the XML. I picked the current order somewhat at random. I'd prefer alpha if the list grew, and let "title" sort out roles. - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture uri: http://TheOpenSourceWay.org/wiki gpg: AD0E0C41
