Right and I was stating that I don't think anyone should.
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.
That doesn't sound like a discussion. That sounds like putting the
issue beyond discussion.
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?
Nope.
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.
okay.

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.
