[JOSS] inconsistent author list between docs and AUTHORS #383

Closed orbeckst closed 1 month ago

orbeckst commented 1 month ago

As pointed out in https://github.com/openjournals/joss-reviews/issues/6934#issuecomment-2249664394 , the authors in the doc footer

do not include all the authors in AUTHORS, which is the authoritative reference for all code contributors.

We should either include everyone in the doc footer (generate the list for the docs programmatically) or simply link to the AUTHORS file.

I am in favor of just stating as authors "The alchemlyb development team." with a link to AUTHORS.

@orbeckst I do see the point as it will be painful to maintain a up-to-date AUTHORS. But how shall we fix this? Sorry the suggestion is not too clear to me.

I'll have a look, I've done something similar for other projects.--Oliver Beckstein * @.://becksteinlab.physics.asu.eduOn Jul 27, 2024, at 12:01 PM, Zhiyi Wu @.> wrote: @orbeckst I do see the point as it will be painful to maintain a up-to-date AUTHORS.
