Need suggested citation for whole project

[williamjturkel]

On the main landing page, we should have a suggested way of citing the Programming Historian project as a whole. My vote would be for a form that doesn't include any of our names, but I am amenable to being outvoted on that.

Good point. I think we should go the other way though, and include all active members of the editorial board as 'editors' on the project. People will cite it as they like. But this is the metadata age, after all. That will let semi-automated and automated aggricators like Google Scholar make sense of what we're doing.

I tend to agree with @acrymble – probably an edited collection is the closest model we've got to emulate? I think that gives it more gravitas than a simple website citation format. This is not a strong preference, however, so am happy to defer to others.

One example that I generated from Zotero (can you tell I'm procrastinating on my writing?):

Crymble, Adam, Fred Gibbs, Allison Hegel, Caleb McDaniel, Ian Milligan, Miriam Posner, and William J. Turkel, eds. The Programming Historian. 2nd ed., 2015. http://programminghistorian.org/.

That looks good to me, @ianmilligan1.

P. S. I think the correct term for what you are doing is structured procrastination.

I'm OK with Ian's suggestion if everyone else is.

[acrymble]

I agree.

Ok cool - if there's consensus, I am happy to incorporate it into the landing page.
