Big Thank You page

Hi all,

We would like to draw a 'big thank you' page with the names of the
people who are contributing in the native language projects but don't
show up in any of our listing.
Could you help us to put this list in place and help to maintain it?

I've open the page here:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Contributors
I've added a FR example (the most simple for me :wink: so don't hesitate to
add your NLP names or send me the info to be added, I'll take care of it.

When it will be filled, we would like to attach it to the next PR to
send a strong message to the media and put the projector on our NLP
contributors :slight_smile:
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Let me know if you have any question or remark.

Cheers
Sophie

Hi Sophie

Do you think the names (or page) should have a time stamp (e.g. 2014)?
People come and go quite often...

How about a photo?

Yes, that's a good idea. And may be we could set a 'cleaning period'
once a year, where each project remove and add the names ?

>

I thought on "Big Thank You 2014", "Big Thank You 2015"....

That way we keep an history of the community participation. But YMMV.

I have removed the language selection from the page, as I think the
intention was to have one list for all languages.

Would this list not be better suited for the "Credits" section of LibreOffice? At least this would make it easier for nl groups to look up names and you could still use it for as basis for PR work.

The same could be done for the larger groups who contribute to the LibreOffice project: Docs; QA; Design; Website; Accessibility; Marketing.

If these lists were maintained in the "Credits" section, we could still pull data for marketing purposes.

Also, IMO, this discussion should really be sent to the Marketing list as we are discussing PR.

For the moment, the difficulty is to collect the names, once we have a
list, it could be linked from anywhere. As you know, we have very few
feedback from this small NLPs, they have already so much to do.

The same could be done for the larger groups who contribute to the
LibreOffice project: Docs; QA; Design; Website; Accessibility; Marketing.

I guess they are also in NLPs :slight_smile:

It's more difficult to update Silverstripe than updating the wiki, so
let have it on the wiki..

Also, IMO, this discussion should really be sent to the Marketing list
as we are discussing PR.

For the moment we are speaking about recognition of the work done by and
inside the NLPs, we really want to thank those contributors for the
great work they do on a day to day basis. We don't want to do that only
on a PR, this is a follow up, we want to have a page where each can
point to and show our contributors.

Hi Sophie,
[...]

Let me know if you have any question or remark.

How to differentiate between UK, Canada, USA for EN?

I guess we could create sections for EN_US, EN_UK, etc..?

Also, regarding where the content lives on the wiki, the current url is
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Contributors

but the emphasis seems to be on NLP contributors, so perhaps we can
move the page to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language/Contributors

?

yes, we could add subsections for a language and his locales

Yes, why not :slight_smile:
