When the vimtips were still hosted on vim.sf.net, they were also made
available as plain text file[1] without any mention of the author. So
there was no real agreement at any time that the tip authors are to be
mentioned.

When the tips were transferred to wikia one of those tips I didn't
submit anonymously was misattributed to somebody else and there is a
chance the same thing happened for a couple of other tips. I don't
think I could agree but I also don't really care that much.


[1] BTW I found that really useful because that way the tips could be
integrated with the vim help. I have no idea if you (J Beckett) have
database access or if it is possible to export those tips in some
useful format that could be easily converted to a tagged vim help
file, maybe using the descriptive titles as tags, but I think it would
be really useful being able to browse them from within vim. This was
something I personally missed when they moved to wikia. Can the whole
set of tips be exported somehow?
