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.
I was just discussing it to find out what people thought about the
general subject. I didn't call for a vote.
That said, this is an Apache project in the Incubator, and one of the
objectives is to create an Apache community, in accordance with the
collective experience of the foundation.
Now, putting aside the "author tags in code" idea for a second, do
you have any problems with having the committers page like httpd does?
I was thinking we'd have the committer list at the top, and below
that a section that lists the 'bulk contributions' starting with
david's.

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.
