Initially the discussion had a component of author tags. It will be
easy to change the policy of author tags to not than vice versa. Even
easier to allow all to do as they feel initially and set a uniform
policy later when the binding votes can be cast by a basic quorum of
those whom it will affect.
Since the vote is about author tags in code, the point is that I think
there should be a vote taken AFTER those who have donated code have
committer status.

What? I was talking about having a contributor page *and* an AUTHORS
file, independent of the in-file author tag issue, and quite frankly, I
think we should do it now as people are contributing. If anyone has a
real problem with the httpd-style committers page and tracking AUTHORS
in a file, please speak up.
And I know you weren't intentionally dissing non-coding contributions
to Harmony, but we should be clear that code isn't the only thing that
matters. It's clearly very important, but as this is going to be a big
project, we welcome any and all help :)

BTW, I think it is too early for this to go to a vote. Right now,
all of the binding votes would be cast by people who haven't written
any code on the project. I would favor addressing this issue once
there are some active committers. For now laissez-faire should rule.

I have looked at the HTTPD contributors page and I like it.
I have also looked at the AUTHORS file in Archie Cobbs' code
and I like it as well.
If I had to choose between the two, I'd choose both.
That was my intention. On the website where it's easy to point to
and easy for people to find, and one in the code so that as you
way, it carries with the source.
Thanks Dan.
