Hi,
We had a discussion about author tags a while ago. The general consensus
was that individuals should no longer be listed in these tags [NB: not
an official vote]. I think this is now also apache policy?
It's a recommendation of the ASF Board.
Robert Donkin suggested using them to credit "the commons team", with
the benefit that a link would lead back to apache.
I see that these tags have started appearing in Betwixt:
* @author <a href='http://jakarta.apache.org/'>Jakarta Commons Team</a>
I'm happy with this; the line length is 73 chars, so it fits nicely
within an 80-char line without wrapping and seems useful.
Does anyone have any objections if I replace all the existing @author
tags in digester with this? I have already copied all author info into
the project.xml file...
[NB: I might make it "The Jakarta Commons Team" for grammatical reasons
:-]
I'd actually prefer to just get rid of the @author line entirely. If
we're going to keep it, though, the link should really point at
something useful, like perhaps the home page of the Digester website.
Regards,
Simon
