[Staticgen -> Jamstack] attribution of work and acknowledgement of past contributors

Open noraj opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

What sadden me is that the Contributors history was not kept nor mentioned anywhere during the site migration. So basically 353 contributors participated to create most of the staticgen content and the new jamstack website just take the content with a new layout without even mentioning it somewhere and without thanking them.

As the top #7 contributor with my 15 PRs, I feel like all my work was stolen without a thanks.

There should be a CONTRIBUTORS.{md,txt} file that list the past 353 contributors of https://github.com/netlify/staticgen and listing also the new ones. And why not create a contributors page on the website as well.

I know it's Netlify behind both repo and the MIT license totally allow that but it doesn't feel right.

Thanks for opening this issue, @noraj. You make a good point. It is indeed the contributed content to both staticgen.com and headlesscms.org which we aimed to bring together in this one location, and I overlooked how this process might lose visibility of the contributors.

Adding a view of contributors seems like a great suggestion to me. We'll do that.
