Hi,

Adding a CREDITS.txt file at the top of our codebase, following the
Cocoon example [1], would IMO be a nice way of giving credit to people
working on Stanbol, for those who want that.

The idea is to document the history of people's contributions, things like

  The entityHub code was originally designed and written by Rupert Westenthaler
   as part of his work at Salzburg Research, partially funded by the
IKS project.

Based on true facts, so no subjective statements like

  Bob Sponge, Bill Topay and Leo Davinci are the core developers of Stanbol.

We wouldn't list every single patch in there, the idea is to document
how specific blocks of functionality came to existence. More details
are available on http://s.apache.org/stanbol_svnsearch and similar
services.

WDYT?

-Bertrand
