[documentation] Contributors to docs need more public recognition

[Shai Gluskin]

Here is a summary of *alternatives* to Steve D's proposal that address some
of his concerns, but in  different ways:


   1. @greggles
(Greg)<http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006047.html>-
give better visibility to already existing book
   contributors <http://drupal.org/node/14205> page.
   2. @greggles
(Greg)<http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006047.html>-
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.
   3. @greggles
(Greg)<http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006047.html>-
   try to get a column going in the newsletter, "documenter of the month."
   4. @catch (Nat)<http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006061.html>-
create a documenters commit block similar to what we have for
developers
   on http://drupal.org/cvs
   5. @angie (webchick)<http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006053.html>-
adding badges to the names of folks who have contributed to the
handbook
   (presumably on people's user page).
   6. @angie (webchick)<http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/documentation/2008-May/006046.html>-
Submit request to infrastructure to allow revisions tab visibility for
   anonymous users

Many, if not all, of these suggestions have been +1 by others in the thread.

This is a long thread. Did I miss any others?

@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?
