Here is a summary of <i>alternatives</i> to Steve D's proposal that address some of his concerns, but in different ways:<br><br><ol><li><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006047.html">@greggles (Greg)</a> - give better visibility to already existing <a href="http://drupal.org/node/14205">book contributors</a> page.</li>
<li><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006047.html">@greggles (Greg)</a> - add another query to the book contributions page that would list the number of contributions. Greg reports having written a version of that query two years ago.</li>
<li><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006047.html">@greggles (Greg)</a>- try to get a column going in the newsletter, "documenter of the month."</li><li><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006061.html">@catch (Nat)</a> - create a documenters commit block similar to what we have for developers on <a href="http://drupal.org/cvs">http://drupal.org/cvs</a></li>
<li><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006053.html">@angie (webchick)</a> - adding badges to the names of folks who have contributed to the handbook (presumably on people's user page).</li>
<li><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006046.html">@angie (webchick)</a> - Submit request to infrastructure to allow revisions tab visibility for anonymous users<br></li></ol>Many, if not all, of these suggestions have been +1 by others in the thread.<br>
<br>This is a long thread. Did I miss any others?<br><br>@steve -- given the lack of support for the specifics of your proposal in this thread, do you see using the action list above as a positive framework for beginning to address your concerns, concerns which I believe others share?<br>
