Hi,
Since May 2015 we added in the Release Plan Help a step that
collects the
list of code contributors of a release and lists them in the announcement mail.
IMO this is a nice way to acknowledge and thank people that are contributing to XWiki.
I want to propose that we add this contributors list in the Release Notes. Release Notes are accessible when someone wants to downloads XWiki and they are also referenced as documentation when we close issues, while the mailinglist are read just by the people that are subscribed.
This visibility increase will be beneficial to thank participants and also maybe motivate other users to join the development.
We could have this listing both in the Release Notes and the Announcement Mail, but I believe it's sufficient in the Release Notes (let me know if you disagree).
This change would imply: - Change in the Release Plan to add this step - Change in the Release Plan Help to document the process - Change the Release Notes Template to add the Contributors section
The Release Manager would compute the code contributors, but additional people could add themselves in case they contributed translations or performed tests (which usually happen after the release, so it's hard to put this responsibility on the shoulders of the RM). Let me know if you want the contributions to be exclusive to code contributions. Also having other types of contributions means that we drop the announcement mail listing since it could be incomplete.
Let me know what you think. My +1
Big +1, it’s nicer to have the acks in the RNs.
Just to be clear my +1 is for: - having the list of contributors to the release only in the RN - I’m fine to also list other types of contributions (translations, etc). The release process needs to explain how to find them and even better how to automate getting them since we need to be careful that it doesn’t take too long to gather them.
