Message-ID: <20000724095652.A677@earthlink.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 1.0i Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all- Just had a quick thought and I figured I might as well throw it out into public. If you read cvs-all, you know that anybody who submits an accepted port is added into the "Additional Contributors" page of the handbook. Is there any reason why doc submissions don't get the same treatment? Certainly, adding someone to the list would have to be somewhat subjective; after all, I don't think someone just submitting a typo patch should be placed on the list, but there are many people who have contributed valuable things to the docproj, and it might be nice to recognize them. [Note: This is not some attempt to get my name in lights, I couldn't care less if I show up on that list or not; however, I think that having ports contributors and not doc submitters show up on the list gives the impression that the ports system is more important than the docs, which IMO isn't true].
