On one hand I agree with Omar.

But on the other hand, *some* credits need to go to the coders.

In Open Source, it seems very difficult to contribute to anything, if you 
are not a coder.

This has to change, somehow. Suggestions welcome.

I think admiration for coders is very important. On the other hand, doc 
writers, translators, usability experts etc etc need more place in the 
'world'. If Open Source (and I really mean Free Software) wants to grow 
'we' have to find a way.

I think if one 'fan' of the coders, who actually does all the work the 
docs need, wants a way to express his admiration for the coders, there 
should be a place for that. On the other had, for people just reading the 
docs, it is not so important. Even most coders don't want so mich 
admiration.

But even the doc writer needs admiration.

I suggest to create a place where everyone can get proper credits. Doc 
Writers, Translators, and yes Coders too. /credits ??

Once you have created that place, it might be less needed to mix credits 
witd pure documentation. Everybody, happy.

What's you opinion ?
