I have no strong object to the idea of removing every prerequisite from admission to web2py-developers. But I still think we need to figure out a way to better acknowledge the role of contributors.
Moreover so many people have contributed so far we should also start thinking about protecting copyright issues (both protecting web2py from possible contamination of copyrighted code, and protecting the contributors by making sure they retain rights on their contributed code). We should look how other projects handle these issues.
