Hi devs,
Right now we’ve started acknowledging the committers in the Release notes.
I’d like to propose to extend that try to ack everyone who participates in one way or
another to a release, and not just developers.
I can think of 3 more items to add:
s/3/a few
A) All the JIRA issue reporters that have had an issue
fixed for the release (bug, improvement, new feature, etc). They took the time to report
an issue and thus they’ve helped the committers to improve the quality of the release and
thus they should be acknowledged. This allows us to also ack QA. We could decide to
exclude the reporters who’ve also been committers or leave them in.
B) The people who’ve contributed translations done after the start of the release
development.
Ideally we would also ack:
C) The people who’ve helped on the list for the release
D) The people who’ve helped on the Design and made proposals that made it to the release.
I’m thinking of Caty for example. Luckily Caty also commits some code and often she’s
recognised through commits.
E) People helping having improved xwiki.org by contributing doc. We would need tor remove
people who modified pages by scripts (such as scheduler jobs).
Maybe E) is not that hard to do and could be included now.
WDYT?
Thanks

The problem with C) and D) is that they’re hard to
gather. But we could do it on an ad-hoc basis by adding them to the RN during the
development (when they help) instead of doing it at the end.
In any case I’d like to focus on A) and B) FTM and I’m proposing to add them to the
Release Plan since they’re easy to find out.
WDYT?
Thanks
