[jira] [Commented] (TRAFODION-1640) Replace list of developers in top level pom.xml file with a link

["Hans Zeller (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-1640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15015073#comment-15015073 ] 

Hans Zeller commented on TRAFODION-1640:
----------------------------------------

Having three copies of the same thing is not good (even worse if the three copies are not kept in sync by Trafodion transactions).

The fact that the pom.xml can track developers doesn't mean that we have to use that, or does anyone know of such a requirement?

I would suggest we put a generic developer name into the pom.xml file with a link to a web page:

<developers>
  <developer>
    <id>TrafodionDeveloper</id>
    <name>See list of Trafodion developers</name>
    <email>dev@trafodion.incubator.apache.org<email>
    <url>https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Contributors</url>
  </developer>
</developers>

<contributors>
  <contributor>
    <name>See list of Trafodion contributors</name>
    <email>dev@trafodion.incubator.apache.org</email>
    <url>https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TRAFODION/Contributors</url>
  </contributor>
</contributors>

The third list has only the committers, that's why I put the URL of the second list here. If desired, we could differentiate developers and contributors on the second list, but that may be unnecessary.
