*IMPORTANT* Credits
Yuval Levy
this community has been growing nicely for the past three years. I felt
that the credits given to all of you contributors were not enough.
The "about" dialog in the application had more content than it could
display, and was incomplete. The AUTHORS file in the distribution, a GNU
convention, was outdated and is anyway not much considered by users who
get the binaries on all plattforms, including Linux.
My intention is to recognize and give credit to *all* contributors.
Unfortunately I don't know about all contributors to a history that goes
back seven years. *You* can help, and here is how:
I've started a webpage [0] that eventually will list as many
contributors as known and their contributions.
Currently it is just a scant two columns page with contributors listed
alphabetically in the first column and some text describing their
contribution on the right.
First, we need to make sure that the list is complete. Have I forgot
some names? Apology. Feel free to add them directly (preferred) or to
tell me.
Second, we need to make sure that people's contributions are properly
listed. Have I forgot something on the right of *your* name (or of the
name of somebody you know has contributed more than what is listed)?
Apology. Feel free to add them directly (preferred) or to tell me.
Third, we need to unify the content and language contribution column. As
a minimum I'd like to have special mention for those who contributed
initially or originally a feature or a translation.
Fourth, which will come muuuuch later: I would like to give "recognition
badges", e.g. some sort of beautiful graphics that says "coder",
"builder", "writer", "translator", "bug hunter", "bug fixer", "windows",
"linux/bsd", "mac".
Feel free to add!

One correction - I only provided original and updates to the
Traditional Chinese Translation, not the Simplified.

Since Bruno's Fedora box went belly-up, if that is the reason he
doesn't have access to it, I have more or less been the Fedora tester
and Fedora packager for the various release candidates and releases.

I really think the list of authors needs to be in the tarball, the
copyright license needs to be accompanied by the 'owners'.
Please use URIs that don't expose the filename like (most of) the
rest of the site e.g:
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/community/authors/

I'm not happy with the current solution either, but it is better than
the previous one. Nobody looks at AUTHORS in the tarball, not even Linux
users that get the software through their package manager.
The solution is to put it in the About window (which is also delivered
in the tarball and is visible in the GUI application), but it has
reached its useful limits. Will think of something.

I thought the URIs that don't expose the filename are for pages intended
to be translated? I intentionally do not want a translation of this
page. Maintenance nightmare.

Pages that are not intended for translation are named index.shtml
which is handled by the apache DirectoryIndex directive so the
filename doesn't appear.
Pages for translation are en.shtml which could also be handled by
DirectoryIndex, but I never got around to it and have a
RedirectMatch instead.

This URL throws a 403 error. Is this intended? Or is it just me?

This works:
<http://hugin.sourceforge.net/community/authors/authors.shtml>
Another broken URL is "available" from the TOC on
http://hugin.sourceforge.net/ -> Community

it's me, sorry.
more precisely my fixes who do not work yet.
I'll make it work sooner or later. I'm starting to *hate* how the
current website is set up. I found no way to test it locally, so I have
to go through the SVN update cycle and see what comes out on the other
end before making further changes, which usually means that my time
allocated for the task is already long over and I'm somewhere else.
Frustrating...

Thanks!
And thanks for listing me with my very minor droplets. However, my main
intent where the enfuse droplets, the enblend ones where a mere byproduct...

other newer translation I'm not aware of? :)

not yet, but wouldn't it be nice to have offsprings ;-) ?
the point is that the contributor making the "initial" or "original" (I
have not been very consistent, help welcome) translation has done the
big job opening the way for further contributions.

it is now done, in trunk. a tab separated file that is parsed by the new
about/credits dialog. There is still some work needed on the OSX port,
then I can release RC3.
Thanks to Gerry for fixing the critical cropping bug.

sorry I was a bit absent from this thread. that webpage is temporary. at
some point we'll generate it automatically from
http://hugin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/hugin/hugin/trunk/authors.txt
