Our release notes "Colophon," which lists all the people who have contributed to the Release Notes, always accumulates names. In the past, we've never stripped out any old names. However, there is an important question we should resolve: How do we go forward from here? Options include: 1. Leave all the names on the list. a. ...because figuring out when someone's individual contributions are gone is REALLY hard, and people should be credited for that work as long as we think it might still be in the Release Notes or a translation somewhere. b. ...because people drift in and out of Fedora Project work, and shuffling names might not be a good use of time. 2. Erase the whole list and start over each cycle. a. ...because this is reflective of who's working hard on writing, editing, translating, and packaging this edition. b. ...because it's easier to track and makes for a more sane length and meaningful content for the Colophon. There are probably other options but they all involve some give and take, and more work overall. These options are equally easy to maintain, I think; we just need to discuss them publicly and then pick. The FDSCo should probably decide on a policy in Wednesday's meeting, but it would be good to hear what the L10N and Docs communities think. -- Paul W.
