I think the list is obsolete now + we should also add people from NetCAT into the list.
What credits.html file is this? Where is it located? What/where is this list?
Ken, this file is located in installed Netbeans directory
OK, I am not sure how to update this list. Do you know who would be the best person to contact about this? So we should update the list of names in the list and add netcat? Adding Jirka to cc
OK, found how to update. Jirka was the last person to edit this file, adding a name earlier this year. Should we be removing names?
I suggest to change content of the CREDITS.HTML file to always only reflect the release. It would simply mention all source code contributors and all testers. If the list becomes too long, we can raise the bar and include only the most significant developers (say more than 100kB patches) and testers (say more than 50 CAT points). In NetCAT 7.2 [1] it would be 29 participants plus NB QE staff. Petre, is there an easy way to list all developers who pushed some >100kB changesets during NetBeans 7.2 release? [1] http://qa.netbeans.org/processes/cat/72/activity.html
But why only QE and Dev? Let's have also docs team contributors listed! :)

So should we remove all the names currently in the list now (and at the start of every release) and start from scratch and add names as we go along and the names become known?

The list of committers for a specific date range can be obtained from mercurial via: hg log --date "2012-01-01 to 2012-07-31" --template "{author|person}\n" | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr I don't know how to filter only >100kB changesets. I'm sorry.
Great, thanks Petre. The number in front of the name means number of commits, doesn't it?
(In reply to comment #11) > Great, thanks Petre. The number in front of the name means number of commits, > doesn't it? Exactly.
OK, then I suggest to include everyone who pushed 10 or more changesets (65 contributors for 7.2 release). In the second section would be mentioned NB QE staff plus all NetCAT participants with 50 or more points (29 testers). If there are no objections against this proposal, let's implement it since NetBeans 7.3 release.

I removed the old list of names from the file. 664b5a84b8b2 The file will be updated with the new list of names according to Jirka's suggestion and committed when the branding is updated for FCS. I am downgrading this to P3 but will raise it again to P1 prior to FCS.
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201209130001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/664b5a84b8b2 User: kganfield <kganfield@netbeans.org> Log: #215892, removing names from list. New list for release will be populated later
I have new commiter Alex Bowen (trajar@netbeans.org) - where I am supposed to put his name, now when you remove the list from CREDITS.html?
The name has been added to the list. http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/b7ccf6bf1262 The list can be edited and updated at any time, it is just not currently displayed. No list was displayed in the credits file because there were no names to list. This was the first confirmed name. The list is still commented out so no names are visible. If this list should be visible for the beta release then the file should be updated to remove the comments and pushed to beta branch.

So Ken, should this be completed and closed now?
It's too early. We first need to determine the most helpful contributors from NetCAT. What can be the last date to integrate this change before building FCS build?
As a P1 this should be fixed before code freeze, because per the quality criteria P1s must be fixed before RC. If that's not sufficient that this issue needs to be changed to TASK.
OK, changing to TASK then.
CREDITS.html file updated to list all outstanding 7.3 release contributors: hg.netbeans.org/releases/rev/5b02ad9ec8ca
