TWiki Contributor

A TWiki contributor is a person devoting his/her time to contribute on the development of the Open Source project TWiki, hosted at http://TWiki.org/ . It is defined as a person who:

• has contributed code that was accepted into the TWiki distribution, or
• has considerably contributed to the TWiki documentation.

I would personally like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation and thanks to all who contributed ideas, code, fixes and documentation to the TWiki project

Comments & Questions about this Distribution Document Topic

I changed the format from an embedded search into a simpe table on this topic. Individual contributor pages will be removed unless I hear objections. This will reduce the number of topics in the distribution, it also will reduce the confusion of having user home pages in other then the Main web. The original idea was that contributors would sign document pages without the "Main." part since not all contributor home pages exist in the Main web. Contributor pages are not needed in the TWiki web if we use InterwikiPlugin links for contributor signatures.

I removed (moved away) the individual contributor topics (as previously announced). All contributors are now listed just on this topic here.

I also removed John Altstadt from the list. This was requested by John.

-- PeterThoeny - 28 Nov 2003

It's important to recognise contributors, and this topic is the way to do it. However a simple table isn't really an adequate recognition, so I started to change it to reflect a little bit about what the person actually has done. As you can see from the list, it's not particularly obvious to me what a lot of these people did, so please help fill in the gaps! Keep the comments short, if possible.

Thanks Crawford for the initiative, always good to be crisp!

I added some more, but there are still many holes. Please don't be offended if I did not catch your contribution in the time I have allocated to this task, simply help in completing the list

-- PeterThoeny - 25 Nov 2004

Things change with times. Crawford advocated to remove the specifics of the contributions in this topic, TWiki does not list the specifics anymore since TWikiRelease04x00x00.

-- PeterThoeny - 04 Feb 2006

Richard, your change and all contribution details will be overwritten with a plain list without contribution details once TWiki.org is running TWiki 4.0, see TWiki04.TWikiContributor. This is something I will revisit, IMO it is not good to hide the contributions details on this page.
