Dear contributors, In 2010, we formalized a set of chapters of Yade's documentation, with associated bibliographic references (*1). The list of authors have been built automatically based on the blamelist of the documentation itslef (basically, one line of documentation was enough to be co-author). In the same move, we updated the "authors and contributors" page of the wiki (*2).
After more than two years, it seems there is a need to reflect the evolution of the developers base and acknowledge fresh blood. Looking at Ohloh stats (*3), it is easy to find contributors who are not even named in the "contributors" page of the wiki. This is not serious. So my proposal is to: 1. use Ohlo's stats to refresh the wiki's list (this is easy and can be done quickly) 2. At some point, maybe release a 2nd edition of yade's documentation with additional co-authors. It means practically nothing to do. Just to name the 2nd release and generate stable pdf's for it. Let me insist on the fact that being co-author is granted to people producing some documentation, not just implementing something. Any remark/objection/suggestion about this? Bruno p.s. FYI, there is now a Yade page on google scholar, that you can use to track citations (*4). It is a good way to discover people doing something with our favorite DEM code. ;) Interestingly, some users we never hear about seem to be successful. *1: https://www.yade-dem.org/doc/citing.html *2: https://yade-dem.org/wiki/Authors_and_contributors *3: http://www.ohloh.net/p/yade/contributors/summary *4: http://scholar.google.fr/citations?user=hZB8GGcAAAAJ&hl=en -- _______________ Bruno Chareyre Associate Professor ENSE³ - Grenoble INP Lab. 3SR BP 53 38041 Grenoble cedex 9 Tél : +33 4 56 52 86 21 Fax : +33 4 76 82 70 43 ________________ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
