…ore this commit there was no humans.txt file recognizing contributors. This commit adds a text file recognizing contributors to date. Add button to home.liquid.

Hey @ultrasaurus, after talking with you tonight, @raebot and I realized that there's more to do for this issue before it's ready for review. Here are the things on our todo list:

create object that can fetch repo contributors and given their github handles can scrape data from their profile page
yml file for non github contributors details
merge github scrape & yml into humans.txt file
create rake task that can be run as remembered or with chron job/circle ci builds

Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. Any chance that someone else has written that code already?

This might do the trick: https://github.com/JoahG/humans-txt-generator

Sarah was looking for a way to update both Git Hub contributors and non-Git Hub contributors easily. I'm working on a rake task that automates the process. I have 90% of the task complete and will submit soon.

ultrasaurus commented 8 years ago

@jenjwong do you still want to work on this rake task? would be nice to acknowledge the humans!

jenjwong commented 8 years ago

I'm keen to finish the task. It's 90% complete. I start an intensive bootcamp on Monday, and will be focused on JavaScript until May.

ultrasaurus commented 8 years ago

@jenjwong it would be wonderful if you would be able to finish this... just to clarify, are you going to do it in Javascript? or saying you won't be able to work on it till May?

Thanks!
