Hi, there's one more thing that we need to get done before 2.4 and that's updating the list of contributors. As we have discussed last year at LGM, it would be a good idea to also introduce some way to differentiate between active and inactive contributors. Currently when users look at the About dialog they see a loooong list of authors and might get the impression that the GIMP project has plenty of active developers. We all know that this is not true. I would like to propose that we add some sort of attribute in the authors.xml file to mark active contributors (perhaps active="yes", or last-active="2.4"). I propose that we define a contributor as active if she has done a substantial contribution in the last development cycle. The AUTHORS file in the source tree should probably continue to list all authors, perhaps categorized into active and inactive. But I would like the About dialog in 2.4 to display only active contributors. Does that sound reasonable? Do we have a volunteer for updating the list of contributors?
