Create Contributors file, fix copyright announcement. #25

Closed SnakeDoc closed 11 years ago

Create a Contributors file and reference it in the copyright notice. This is because as contributors work on the project, they should get public credit, but listing everyone in the copyright and license notice is messy. Moving all names into Contributors file and list by date they joined/contributed to the project. Allow a contributor to pimp something of their choice, such as personal website, company, project, product, interesting fact, etc. Allow contributors to update their text whenever they wish and issue pull request for that file. NO pull requests will be accepted if they make a change to the Contributors file as well as something else (code updates). Contributors file changes will only be accepted if it's the sole file changed in a commit. This is to avoid minor whitespace changes, etc that would clutter normal real commits.

To further add to this, the copyright notice will be as such:

Copyright (c) 2013 superD Contributors and others, SnakeDoc.net | All Rights Reserved

This references the contributors, and the other's are contributors and/or owners of the libs we use. SnakeDoc.net is the project's home and controlling body (because it's central to anyone contributing to the project).
