Great job!

I just have a few comments:

• I would move OmriLahav to the dept. heads (head of music).
  
• Shogun 144 (Joshua Gilbert) is head of history IIRC.
  
• ryan827 is head of sound.
  
• We should find a way to better represent Ykkrosh's relative contribution to the codebase even if he is not formally head of programming.
  
• I belong in Community and Management.

[Mythos_Ruler]

Kimball is no longer retired.

[gudo]

Jeru: Thanks for the input, I've updated the credits. I'm not sure how to Philip's contribution. I'll think of something.

Mythos: Kimball's listing is a bit of an odd-ball. See his take on his own listing.

He could just be listed under (active) Artists, then. We basically keep his "Dept Lead" forum designation because I'm too lazy to change it and because he's been on the team long enough he's trusted with the extra forum permissions. Maybe he can clarify further.

Just saying HI!

Why not just call him "Lead Programmer"? That makes him stand out without us having to make up some weird title. (I think there might have been one or two of the previous programmers who had that title, but that was before my time, so I'm not sure.)

Quote

Dariusofwest - Allan Brown (Did he actually make any music?)

He did make a win and a loss tune, the former is currently being used. So he should be mentioned although it doesn't seem likely any of his music will appear in the final game.

[historic_bruno]

Can we also update or remove the contributors.txt?

Also vts and Yves definitely need to be mentioned.

[vts]

Hi! I don't seem to be on the list Pureon also seems to be missing?

*EDIT: Too late ^^

[gudo]

Pureon, vts, yves, Chakakhan added!

I suggest a giant flashing neon arrow with "MOST AWESOME CONTRIBUTOR" next to my name. Or nothing at all; I don't mind

Do we need to distinguish active and retired members at all? I think the important thing is just to give people credit for work they've put into the game in the past, and it doesn't matter whether or not they'd retired at the time we last updated the credits list. Also it'll take extra effort to maintain the active/retired status over time as people's status changes, and I'd like to avoid effort if there's not a clear benefit.

Yeah, I don't think it should matter whether their work survives - they did work for the game and deserve credit for it regardless of what happened afterwards.

A few randomly noticed typos and missing data:

Quote

Pheonix-TheRealDeal

Should be "Phoenix-..."

Quote

mreiland

Real name: Michael Reiland

Quote

perfect - Nicolai Hähnle

"prefect"

Quote

Poya

Real name: Poya Manouchehri

Quote

Jubalbraca

"Jubalbarca"

Probably-incomplete list of other ancient programmers (mostly pre-CVS and generally none of their work survived, but they seemingly had some non-trivial influence on the code design): Dak Lozar (Dave Loeser). Raj Sharma. h20 (Daniel Wilhelm).

[Wijitmaker]

Great work! Keep it up!

mreiland = Michael Reiland

Former Programming Leads:
Raj = Raj Sharma
H20 = Daniel Wilhelm
Dak Lozar = Dave Loeser (tragically passed away August 2004)

I sent you a PM with some old old information. Though they contributed in the early stages of the game and their contributions may have now been replaced... 0 A.D. would not be what it is today without their contributions.

Edit: doh - Philip beat me

[Pureon]

Brilliant work gudo!

Please remove woxys

[gudo]

Aren't we using one of woxy's pics as a texture? Doesn't that require credit?

As for the others, I've updated the names. Thanks Wijitmaker and Ykkrosh! (I'll see what I can do about the flashing arrow ) Oh, and I'm only keeping track of the retired Dept. Heads. Not keeping track of the retired contributors.

If we credit Woxy, we might as well credit CGTextures.com as well.

[Spahbod]

My name is Omid Davoodi. Also there are three more random map scripts by ben I think.

Done

[Spahbod]

Oh, sorry I meant the user Ben. This one: Ben - Ben Vinegar.

[Pureon]

Please add Athos to 3D artists

If we're going to add texture sites could you add burningwell.org
