So since Paul and Stuart originally wrote the content for IG - and largely
the update for F10 was fact checking, editing with snippets of writing and
wordsmithing I don't know how comfortable I feel declaring everyone an
'author'. I've added all the details for $uscguys, eawest and myself; I
noticed that jsmith did the same thing. Thus I appoint quaid to make the
decision :)

Replying to [comment:1 pfrields]:
> I would personally prefer that we remove all names (and thus the onerous
concept of "ownership") from all our guides, and simply refer to them as
written by the "Fedora Documentation Team." I started doing this a while
ago with some of the other documentation like the Release Notes, even
though Karsten and I were doing a lot of editing work there.
+1
Let's replace the front-page author list with "Fedora Documentation Team",
then put in an actual colophon that covers methods and doers. This was
the way the Red Hat team did it for a long time, for much of the same
reason (brand/community forward, cleaner front page, etc.) I think we
switched in Fedora to gain, "Grow your reputation," capabilities. That
now seems redundant, since there are better ways to show that reputation.
I'm renaming this ticket to show the new task, which is the creation of a
colophon for the IG.
