<br>
For work on the 1.5 release we used a wiki rather than have people add commits to the thanks file in the repo. <br>
I’m assuming this was to alleviate rebase conflicts to merge. My question is, <br>
<br>
Is using a wikifor tracking thanks to add in each release the way we track thanks entries moving forward? <br>
<br>
To be clear these would be separate wiki pages from the release notes wiki pages. <br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That does sound like a good idea.</div><div><br></div><div>A perhaps even better one is to retire the THANKS.txt file. It really doesn't have much value, is very inconsistently updated and old entries are horribly out of date (e.g. Pauli is thanked for docs work and interpolation bug fixes - that doesn't quite cover his contributions :)).</div><div><br></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><br><div>Yeah agree. </div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>I'd prefer to extract the relevant historical info and put that on the website. Or just have a full list of contributors that's autogenerated.</div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><br>We already do the auto generate for each release IIRC. At least I assume that the RM (Tyler) does that in an auto generated way. <div><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto"><div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div> The thanks to institutions at the bottom of the file already lives at <a href="https://scipy.org/scipylib/donations.html#acknowledgements" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://scipy.org/scipylib/donations.html#acknowledgements</a></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote><br>We could move the individual thanks entries (as currently written) to the scipy site.
