credits.html

Hi, all,
  I noticed that the installer will contains a credits page:
http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/credits.html . But this page looks
obsolete. Maybe we should update it, or redirect it to
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/people.html ?

This page is incomplete as it doesn't contain the present contributors ...

... and this is incomplete as it doesn't contain the past. ;-)

But we shouldn't *in any case* delete the one or other content.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I understand this page as "I'm declaring with my name that I will help 
to bring this new Apache Incubator project forward." and it is needed - 
due to some Apache process - to document the status of this project.

It's not directly connected with the status as a committer. It will be 
vanish when the graduation was succesful someday and we have to think 
about a new way to show and thank our contributors/committers/helpers/etc.

Anyway, I can combine the content of both pages in a single one.

Good idea.

Of course, this should always work. ;-)

AOO 3.4.0 pointed to credits.html as well.   It should be easy to update.

Committers and Mentors are listed here:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html

We can also get list of other contributions by svn log | grep " by:"
to find "Patch by:", "Reported by:", etc.

Or, since this is a wiki, we could just send a note to ooo-dev asking
for people to add themselves.  That is the simplest.
