Thank You List

Post by xamenus »

I think some of the entries from the Thanks section on the Credits page are showing their age. For starters, for example, MaxSt isn't listed in there, but Kreed is. I was wondering if any recent contributors could be added in there (perhaps also those who have been discovering new info about the SNES and how it works, etc.). Does anyone have any further suggestions to help update that section to the new era of SNES emulation?

I think Credits.htm needs a bit of an overhaul in general. First, I think it'd be nice to add a short description after some of the people in the Developers / Contributers / Doc Writers section, describing what the person does or contributes.

Also, I think the Developers section needs an update. zsKnight and _Demo_ stay at the top, for sure. We should also move grinvader and ipher up to the developers section. pagefault, Nach, grinvader and ipher comprise the current active developers, and should be recognized as such.

Are there any lines in the Special Thanks / Also Thanks sections that are obsolete or outdated?

That is precisely what I'm wondering. Some new stuff could probably be added, too (Igor Pavlov for JMA comes to mind, though that may be strictly NSRT related).

The NSRT team needs to be thanked for JMA. My team put a lot of work into that; writing code, getting portability worked out, fixing bugs, bug testing...
Although would be nice if I finished the new version of JMA which is extremely faster.

I need some suggestions from current developers on how I shoudl re-design the Credits.htm page. Here's what I have so far:

Code: Select all

Founding Developers (no longer active)

    * zsKnight
    * _Demo_

Current Developers

    * pagefault
    * Nach
    * grinvader
    * ipher

Past Developers

    * Pharos
With the "Thanks" list lower down, I was thinking about putting the ZSNES version number in which the person was first thanked. Any thoughts on this?

I'm not so sure where to put _Demo_ since he's still around.
If I really need his help with something, and pester him about it enough, he'll help out.

Like last year I was having some issues with integrating S-DD1 and he came and saved the day.

Well, perhaps I'll just remove the (no longer active) part after Founding Developers. How's everything else look?

Added, not yet committed. It's under the Thanks/"Also Thanks To:" section. Move the line if you think it should be somewhere else.

EDIT: Committed.

I've updated Credits.htm with pretty much everything I know to update. Everyone please let me know what else needs to be added.

If you're listed in the credits, and you want to add/change your description, please let me know!

Feel free to add a description to my name.

I wrote the 1.36 to 1.40 changelog, gathering about 2.5 years of the Dev's notes.

Here are two related threads about my contributions:

Here was one of my last 1.40 beta changelogs, in November 2004:

On the to do list. Sorry about the delay. I'm not sure exactly when it will get done.

Feel free to add a description to my name in Credits.html of the Documentation.

Deathlike, do you want to edit your own description in Credits.htm now that your an active developer? I've created an entry for you under developers.

If you have a request for something to be added to the credits, just make a new thread.

No. That's your job. :P It would be inappropriate for me anyways.

You can give me a suggestion of what to put there. Grinvader's description is his own doing.

What's your main role as a developer?

I do a lot of grunt work for porting and I guess I look to improve ZSNES usability.
