[eigen] giving credits to new contributors

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.tuxfamily.org/eigen Archives ]


I think we're falling behind on giving credits to new contributors: we
must keep up-to-date the Contributors section on the main page.

But it's not easy. We can't update the wiki as soon as we commit a
patch: often, new code starts in unsupported/ and typically we only
want to list on the main page what is in Eigen/.

So I propose a special syntax in commit msgs:

CREDIT blabla

where blabla is 1 line of text (so about 70 chars) with the full name
and a very short description.

This way, grepping through commit logs would be easy.

2) I looked for interesting occurences of the words "patch" and
"thanks" in our commit messages since we lost track of credits, here
are my findings. I am only listing contributions that I think must be
credited on the main page.

Call to eigen contributors: If I'm forgetting your contribution,
please don't hesitate to say it !!
I'm not listing unsupported/ contributions and also not listing (very
useful but i hope you understand) reports of nasty typos like "missing
&" or "Cols instead of Rows".
