Add contributors to readmes #148

Closed dcwalk closed 5 years ago

dcwalk commented 7 years ago

Per @Mr0grog's wonderful lead in https://github.com/edgi-govdata-archiving/web-monitoring-db/pull/75#pullrequestreview-42108668, it would be great to add the stripped down all-contributors to our core active readmes...

Was thinking about this with @lightandluck today– I'm very pro- the philosophy of this, but I'm wondering if there is a simpler/more maintainable way to go about this. What do you think of linking to https://envirodatagov.org/about/members/ from readmes?

Mr0grog commented 5 years ago

Dunno about this repo, but for all the code repos, at least, project contribution and EDGI membership are very different groups. For example, this list is mostly non-EDGI people.

Saw this over on IPFS and how they list contributors. Maybe we can use that and link to our members page for this overview repo?

I am not a big fan of that because:

I think the score-keeping feeling of counting all the PR/issues/comments someone makes is not healthy.
I care a lot about the fact that we take pains to include contributions that do not happen in ways tracked by GitHub. A script like this explicitly takes the opposite approach.
