Description (last modified by )
See also the comments in Phab:D2436 for further detail.
- r7789 Created by Mario Machado aka mfmachado. He also became a staff member https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/profile/9455-mfmachado/ and was interviewed on
2010-07-17-QuakeNet-#0ad-Meeting.log

- r7217 and r8399 from wacko who was a staff member https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/profile/8046-wacko/
- One should be able to identify more by going through the forum list of staff members, the interviews with candidates on IRC, IRC log searches for the credit keyword etc., the revision history
- Going through this list will probably reveal some missing entries https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15542-did-you-contribute-to-0-ad-make-sure-you-get-in-the-credits/
- There was a
contributors.txt
that contains entries that aren't present in the current version, this file is linked on the first post on that forum thread Phab:source/0ad/browse/ps/trunk/source/contributors.txt;13866
- Credits are not so much optional, but required for copyright if one wants to ask for relicensing of the code if there is ever the wish to reuse the code differently. For example if someone wants to link the game against the Steam library, then one can try to ask all contributors.
(Credits are also legally relevant for copyright, so it seems wrong to put it into the user-interface component)

:
16:26 * Philip- ignores the licensing stuff for now, and just commits cygal's patch 16:31 < cygal> thanks for the commit :) 16:31 <@Philip-> Hmm, I suppose it'd also be useful to have a list of contributors' names, to go in the credits screen etc 16:32 <@Philip-> It's hard enough keeping track of all the official WFG members who've contributed :-( 16:32 * Philip- wonders if cygal has a real name he could add to the list, and maybe an email address if he doesn't mind it being public 16:33 < cygal> Quentin Pradet <email redacted> 16:33 < cygal> (but I don't really care about credits)

Phab:D2436 handles the identified authors, the remaining TODO is to dig through the rest of old irclogs from Philip and that forum posts to identify who else is missing (hence keeping backlogged).

I guess one would have a hard time rewriting all the contributor's code in case he doesn't answer for re-licensing though; silence not being consent.
Thanks for the digging !
