Ceki Gulcu commented on LOG4PHP-1:
----------------------------------
My point is that it removing author tags is not good practice. While some
Apache projects do not maintain author tags, others do. The board
recommendation dating back to 2005 about author tags is highly contested. It
is an unfortunate recommendation which should not be taken lightly.
> Remove @author tags in code and document credits in README and website

> "@author tags are discouraged in ASF code (http://www.apache.org/
> foundation/records/minutes/2004/board_minutes_2004_09_22.txt, perhaps
> there is a better reference), but there hasn't been any effort to
> remove them in LS code."
> I suggest that we clean out all author tags and document proper credits in
> README and the website documentation.
