Hi PPMC fellows, I'd like to plan to remove the @author tags in the code, since these aren't a good practice. For instance, when the @author tags belong to committers no longer active in the project so they no longer function as a "no trespassing" sign. Also on a incubator based discussion, Bill pointed out: <snip> In general, @author tags and attributions are poison to ASF-style collaboration, they are all about carving out niches in the code. The ASF-style development is about tearing down niches and promoting collaboration across an entire code base. Collaboration and ownership are generally mutually exclusive. </snip> What do you think? I am fine w/ removing them step by step (not now, but let's file a jira ticket, if you agree) Thanks, Matthias -- Matthias Wessendorf http://tinyurl.com/fmywh further stuff: blog: http://jroller.com/page/mwessendorf mail: mwessendorf-at-gmail-dot-com
