Hi,
over the weekend I have done a change to the About dialog that I wanted to do for quite a while already. By means of GtkAboutDialog, we now have proper license and version information in the About dialog, a clickable link to the GIMP website and also better credits. Don't be afraid, the nice fade effects with the names of the contributors at the bottom of the About graphics are still there.
But the dialog now also features a number of credits lists. GtkAboutDialog accepts the following categories: authors, artists and documenters. I have changed the format of the authors.xml file to reflect this. Each contributor can now have multiple roles and the lists that are passed to the About dialog are created from this information. Every contributor listed in authors.xml with a role of "author" will end up in the "Written by" section of the Credits, people with the role "artist" are listed in "Artwork by", "documenters" go into "Documented by". This all happens transparently, so all that needs to be done now is to assign roles. So far I have only done this exemplarily for a few names:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gimp/authors.xml?view=markup
I am now looking for a volunteer to go over authors.xml and check what roles apply to the people listed there. Perhaps also check that noone important is missing (last time we did that was before the 2.2 release). No coding skills required, you don't even need to know anything but the mere basics about XML. Some knowledge of the GIMP history will definitely help though...

No response whatsoever. So there isn't even interest in helping with the simple tasks any longer? This is becoming somewhat frustrating...

I am pretty sure that it is *not* simple and that there are very few people being able to do that. And no, I don't think I could do this. There are too many names in that file I've never heard of and I have no interest at all go digging through ancient maillogs or changelogs just to figure out if someone was a contributor or doc-writer or whatever.
I am surprised that you're surprised about the underwhelming response.

I wasn't sure if I should attempt the task or not, and was kinda hoping someone else would take the task (because I'm fiddling with some other things in POV-Ray and Perl, among other things). But I believe I could attempt this, if you can point me generally at the document sources I might want to look up, and what special instructions I'd need for "submitting" the finished product.

I believe that compared to coding C++, this is supposed to be considered simple - the generic, old, mundane task of compiling a list of names. ^^ I believe that in the "olden days" this used to be the sort of job an entry level worker would do in a corporation.
There are too many names in that file I've never heard of and I have no interest at all go digging through ancient maillogs or changelogs just to figure out if someone was a contributor or doc-writer or whatever.
What about a collaborative effort? E.g. someone goes and checks through these things, and then someone can double check. Or the list can be split in half, and then if there's ones we're unsure about we send them to the other person (and vice versa).

This isn't really a simple task for someone who has just joined GIMP development. We have a number of people who are around for some years already and should know quite a few of the names in the list of authors. Probably one of them should do it.
Whoever wants to give it a try, the ChangeLogs will be a useful resource. At the moment, almost everyone is listed as "author". If in doubt, just keep it that way.

Perhaps I should add that I don't expect a lot of changes at all. There are probably one or two handful of people listed as author who should also be mentioned as documenters and/or artists and a few of them have never contributed any code and should thus not be listed as authors.

He did the selective gaussian blur plugin, and I think I've seen the name in other places as well. But he definately qualifies as "author."

without knowing what this person did, i wonder if he could fix gimp-perl?
Francisco Bustamante
this gentleman is known as bit on #gimp. i am fairly certain he contributed something in the 1.1 version. at any rate, the gimp news guy (at the time) pasted something from his irc log from way back. it was the people who were joined on the irc at a time so far into the bowells of the last century -- i cannot remember the date of the paste let alone the date the paste was from. bit was there with spencer and that other guy. and the news guy and maybe even one or both of the bots. for lack of other actual evidence, bit could easily be grandfathered in.
Graeme Gill
currently working with color management. don't piss them off yet!
Michael Hammel
graphics muse. uses imake. business cards and arrows. a gimp grandfather. probably invented a magazine so he could write about gimp -- who knows?
Andrew Kieschnick
he bought the gimp news guy a beer.
Aaron Sherman
maybe i am confused and this is the person who bought Xach a beer.
and i am sorry if you are a good friend and did a lot and i missed the connection between the name and the irc nick or the aliased bugzilla stuff or the fake email you use.
i might even have just missed it and there was no faking.

slow@gimp.org his irc nick is Slow and knowing all of this about mr. main you should be able to guess that he wrote the original gtk tutorial. he lives in canada and has a baby named Int.

OK. As Sven said, no big changes are expected. I assume all who can't be with 100% certainty classified as "documenter" or "artist" will stay as "author".

In-Reply-To:
Here is a thought regarding the who's who in gimp - perhaps add one
more category,
author, artisit, documenter, and founder (or contributor or something
along those lines) - with the intent being those ACTIVE authors (et.
al.) are listed as specified, and past contributors are lumped
together. Maybe review the list at the end of each major release and
if your name isn't in the change log for version X, then you get moved
(or stay) in the founder category.
Just a thought.

Hi Tor,
thanks a lot for giving authors.xml a go. Will you do another patch incorporating the suggestions that have been made on the list or should we just commit your first patch and work from there?
