Oops!  Sorry about that.  I fixed the contributor names with non-ascii
characters.

[Nick Østergaard]

It seems that some characters are not rendered properly in the names
anymore, like Ø. Maybe this is because of the removal of the wxT macros.

And yet we have an outdated list _compiled into a binary_ which does not
reflect the great contributions made by the new 3D modelling team. I am not
suggesting that we add everyone (quite the opposite), but just offload this
to somewhere it can be updated without recompiling KiCad.

In any case, please find attached an updated patch which only fixes the
links on the first tab, removing the outdated smisoto links.

I know it's a bit dated but I think having credits in the application is
a nice reward for folks who have contributed.  I'm not opposed to a
contributors list on the website although I personally am not terribly
interested in maintaining this list.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Please keep in mind that contributors list is for devs who contributed
significant amounts (this is at the discretion of the project leader) of
code, doc, images, etc. to KiCad.  Contributing a minor patch or two
does not justify having your name in the contributors list.  If you have
made significant contributions and you are not on the contributors list,
please ping me.  I don't always remember to keep the lists up to date.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

[Simon Wells]

The other option is change all the “credits tabs” in the about dialog into 
something similar to what freecad uses, then it would just be a text file to 
update thats included in the distribution and is MUCH easier to update, and can 
use multiple files (including one in the package set to include people from 
there

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

[Oliver Walters]

Can we have a link to a page on the website where we have a long form list?
Updating a binary file with a fluid list of contributors seems hokey.

The 3D models for example are now script generated using Maurice's tools
but contributed by various people.

Well if you want to keep that panel it should represent all those people who 
have provided artistry to kicad, as such for those non programmers maybe there 
needs to be a script or similar that someone can just put their name in and it 
will spit out a patch that can be submitted to the mailing list

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Oliver,

I would rather not remove the artists panel from the about dialog.  I
know some of those folks haven't contributed recently but many of them
contributed a lot of bitmaps and icons over the years so they deserve
credit for the efforts.  The remaining changes are fine.

Cheers,

Wayne
