Howdy Core Contributors (and aspiring ones), I spent some time yesterday compiling one measure of "how many contributors helped with Drupal6". There are many ways to measure this. I chose to look at the people that were mentioned in the cvs commit messages. Thankfully, Gabor and Dries are particularly consistent in the way that they make their commit messages (following the cvs commit message template[1] ) which makes this task fairly easy. The full data and technique to get the data are detailed in the Marketing Group of groups.drupal.org[2] but in summary 272 people were mentioned as having created or tested the patch with the following people as the top 10 (probably nobody is surprised by #1): User Patches Rank chx 141 1 pwolanin 87 2 Goba 67 3 dvessel 60 4 keith.smith 55 5 webernet 48 6 webchick 47 7 JirkaRybka 41 8 catch 38 9 bjaspan 36 10 Gabor seems to be reviewing/committing several patches per day recently, so there is still some time to move up in the numbers (or down). Re-rolling and reviewing patches in the current queue may get your name on the list or perhaps put you in the top 10 glory spot before Drupal6 is released ;) Regards, Greg [1] http://drupal.org/node/52287 [2] http://groups.drupal.org/node/8497 -- Greg Knaddison Denver, CO | http://knaddison.com World Spanish Tour | http://wanderlusting.org/user/greg

A better advice now is to look at the critical issues queue and help test and get those committed. I am concentrating on fixing those and getting out a Drupal 6 RC3 very soon now (today). Then if no serious issues surface, that's going to be the last RC and a release will be rolled. So I'd not suggest people to pour efforts into Drupal 6 patches. Although patches being worked on now will probably apply fine to the early Drupal 7 code, so they will be applicable there. Gabor
