Bah. I made the about page haml for the parts that were hardcoded html. Is that ok? I figured it being markdown was kind of silly at that point.

Adds tevic as a contributor side-effect. <.<

Wouldn't it be better to dynamically pull it from the GitHub API?

curl -i https://api.github.com/repos/hotsh/rstat.us/contributors

And hit GitHub on every request? :-1:

We have at least one contributor (brainvsbraun) who contributed design, not code commits, and is thus not reflected in the github contributors. Also dom changed his github email address since he last committed to rstat.us so he doesn't show up either.

thank you :heart: :heart: :heart:

yeah.. it makes sense. I just thought it was a lot of work (branch , pull request, merge) every time a new contribution is made. But of course it's only when a new contributor makes the first contribution. So not that often I guess..

If we were to fetch a list from github, or anywhere else, I guess some caching strategy could come into place to limit the number of requests made.

cheers

new contributors are worth the effort :)
