Hi Filipus,From a just arrived contributor and from impartial outsider user eyes (until now), I second your opinion !
The choice of giving credits to each contributor could take more man power, but will certainly make it possible to bring it also to the project.

I don't see much credit for DPN contributors given except at the end of each issue. I see tolimar mentioned on http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/index.en.html and that's all. If we talk about "the publicity team", there should be a reference that shows who that is. But I recommend to keep listing people involved in each issue so that existing contributors are motivated to keep contributing, and new contributors feel appreciation from their first contribution.-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Le 24/06/2011 17:51, Filipus Klutiero a écrit :On 2011-06-24 15:20, Alexander Reichle-Schmehl wrote:------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Debian Project http://www.debian.org/ Debian Project News debian-publicity@lists.debian.org June 24th, 2011 http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2011/10/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------[...]This issue of Debian Project News was edited by Francesca Ciceri,Jeremiah C.

I don't see any commit and I didn't see any request for review on debian-publicity.Yes, the review call has unfortunately been forgotten. I think it's also unfortunate to associate Justin's name with an issue that might bring afair amount of incorrect en_BY, en_IT, en_DE, en_FR and even worst stuff.Maybe should we simply sign as “the publicity team“, without the risk of adding people who didn't edit anything, or forget people who did edit an issue.However getting this accuracy needs time. So we should choose between switching to no credits or general credits and taking the time to thank each contributor for each issue. The latter will need more manpower, but proper credits contribute to attract manpower, so I think it's the right choice.
