Screed author attribution

[standage]

The screed authors are listed in the docs, which is read from doc/conf.py. A couple of related questions.

• Are the authors listed anywhere else? We want to avoid having to update this info in multiple places.
• Who should be considered an author for the 1.0 release? Anybody with a contribution since the last release? Since ever? Just core devs?

[standage]

The authors listed in the docs are not pulled from the doc/conf.py file. Already potential for coming out of sync.

[standage]

Also setup.py.

I think anyone with any contribution at all should be offered authorship on the JOSS pub. @mr-c might have ways to extract this that he used on the khmer repo.

It's not so bad:

de-duplicated, we have:

Alex Nolley Ben Taylor Titus Camille Daniel Kevin Murray Luiz Michael Sarah Guermond Thomas Fenzl Tim Head Peter Cock Gabriel Pratt Jake Fenton en zyme

I'm not sure how to assign author order; I'm fine with being last. Alex did most of the initial programming but it's evolved considerably since then... thoughts?

[ctb]

git log | grep ^Author: | sort | uniq

[standage]

I'd suggest

1. release manager (Luiz still, right?)
2. all other authors, alphabetically by last name
3. Titus

[ctb]

We could also reverse order by # of commits :)

[ctb]

(but I am fine with mostly alphabetical)

[standage]

We should probe the authors to ask 1) if they do not want their names on the paper and 2) which names / email they'd prefer.

[standage]

We could also reverse order by # of commits :)

Ok, for the future I'll make sure to split all of my contributions into many small PRs :)

@luizirber can you put together the required paper draft?

[betatim]

Tim Head, tim@wildtreetech.com, Wild Tree Tech. Does ORCID help at all? http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0931-3698

[ctb]

Oooh, nice, ORCID is a good idea.

(Author list order: sort by output of random.random() seeded with your ORCID ID, jk)

[themangoemoji]

Hey all. Thanks for reaching out. I am indeed OK with being listed as an author; the ordering is fine with me. You can mark me down with:

Michael Wright wright.mhw@gmail.com Duo Security

[mr-c]

My author management code is in this Makefile https://github.com/dib-lab/khmer/blob/master/Makefile#L359

[sguermond]

Thanks for reaching out! The ordering works for me. Here's my information:

Sarah Guermond sarah.guermond@gmail.com Independent researcher, Seattle WA Orcid: orcid.org/0000-0002-5849-1522

[bocajnotnef]

Hi again all, thanks for the ping; Order sounds good to me.

[peterjc]

Which repository was git log | grep ^Author: | sort | uniq run on? I can't find myself in the log for did-lab/khmer

[standage]

Which repository was git log | grep ^Author: | sort | uniq run on?

dib-lab/screed. Sorry for the confusion: issues for screed are currently tracked with khmer, but after the screed 1.0 release there will be a cleaner separation between the two repos.

[peterjc]

Ah, thanks - I can see my two commits to date now, some SQL optimisations: https://github.com/dib-lab/screed/commits?author=peterjc

We are set to move forward with this, @luizirber. Everyone but Gabriel Pratt has responded and is on board. Can you draft the required JOSS stuff?
