Information comes from historical mails from Tim or Brion announcing new committers.
nice!
How many users were left out in this list?
Anyone added before 2005 roughly. I have not added users with no commits.
@Nikerabbit :
122 users now have 'since'
90 needs one :
$ egrep -L ^since USERINFO/* | wc -l 90 $
Have these extra fields been added to <http://svn.wikimedia.org/users.php>? Should they be?
Maybe users.php should be merged with the CodeReview extension. We could use metadata to improve the "reviewer experience" :-b
Was there any discussion on what the keys/labels should be before hand? their group would probably be more suited than "project". "since" and "disabled" are not all that descriptive unless you know what they stand for.
see the commit message :
The project items comes directly from Brion & Tim announcements. They might have changed with time. I added the since and disabled so we could eventually clean up unused accounts later. Although one can just parse the svn log :)
I knew what they meant, i did read that, but I'm referring to people that haven't seen this commit message as to why they may be ambiguous. And I believe cleaning up accounts has been mentioned before and can't be done for various reasons.
Maybe add the keywords list to : http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/USERINFO
I made a start over here: http://toolserver.org/~krinkle/wikimedia-svn-users.php
Looks great! You might want to talk about it with Tim and replace the old one :-)
