[SITE] - Contributions to this relase....
Hi folks,
In http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/changes.html we read for each release:
<snip>
Contributors to this release
We thank the following people for their contributions to this release.
This is a list of all people who participated as committers:
[Committer's list]
This is a list of other contributors:
[contributor's list]
</snip>
I wonder if we can improve the sentence: "This is a list of other
contributors:" In particular I don't like the "other contributor"
concept. Perhaps it is because I am no a native english speaker.
Perhpas we should review the whole section.
WDYT?
Best Regards,
Antonio Gallardo.

Agreed, I like these lists too.
I agree with Antonio that "other contributors" is not perfect wording,
but I can't think of anything better at the moment...

This is generated by the Forrest plugin "projectInfo" from
the data in cocoon/site/status.xml
It says "other contributors" because "committers" are
contributors but these other people are contributors
but are not "committers". I had tried my best to get
that English correct. If people think that they can do
better then please send a patch to the Forrest sources.
It is very important to acknowledge everyone who is involved,
otherwise a community cannot be built.

I really don't care less who contributed what and to which release. IMO
we have a (read: ONE) release-independent committer list and, if we so
choose, we can have a list of contributors, although we should specify
the difference between committers and contributors.
Bye, Helma
