Do contributors need a real name?
Hi, one of the few things that I remember about the ancient CLC days was that the rules had an item like this: "Contributors need a real name. [...]" I couldn't find anything about this in the wiki, so my question is whether we still believe that contributors (contrib users and core/opt maintainers) need to have a real name? Personally it makes me feel uneasy when I imagine commits in our git tree that are attributed to people by nick name only. Maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm crazy :) What do you guys think? Do CRUX contributors and developer need to have a real name or not? Regards, Tilman P.S.: I'm not just trying to raise the amount of meaningful traffic on crux-devel with this :D -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

the backup of my CLC wiki database shows me that we have exactly the sentence "Additionally, maintainers need a realname."

Yes, in my opinion that's still a sensible prerequisite, so we should add it to our rules again. regards Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux

Definitely. We all know one could use Jack O'Fake anyway, but it's always nice to have a name to deal with. Not sure how we lost that bit with the site migration, nyway I suggest we update http://crux.nu/Main/HowToContribute Regards, Simone -- Simone Rota Bergamo, Italy - http://www.varlock.com
