[Biojava-l] Contributers

[mark.schreiber at novartis.com]

Hi all -

As you will know we are moving biojava to a wiki based format. On the 
BioJava community page I am trying to extend the list of people who 
contributed to the project in someway. Currently the list is very 
incomplete.

If you have made any kind of contribution in the past please add yourself 
to the list. It's simple enough to do. Follow these instructions.

1. Go to http://biojava.open-bio.org/wiki/BioJava:Community_Portal
2. Click the edit button next to the contributers heading (you might be 
prompted to login, just give yourself a username and password and hey 
presto your editing)
3. add a link for yourself eg, * [[Joe Bloggs|Joe Bloggs]] and save the 
page.
4. Joe Bloggs will now appear as a red link on the page. Click the link 
and start adding information about yourself and what you did (do) with 
biojava.
5. add [[Category:People]] to the bottom of the page
6. Save the page.
7. By default you will have a [[User:MyUserName]] page. In this you should 
put #REDIRECT [[Joe Bloggs]]

Why should you do this?

1. Because you can.
2. It's really the only way people who contribute to biojava get any 
credit at all for their contributions to humanity.
3. It would be really great to keep some kind of record of who contributed 
what and how many people have contributed to biojava. This will be 
essential if we ever publish.

Don't make me look through the @author tags!
