kareila: Rosie the Riveter "We Can Do It!" with a DW swirl (dw)
[personal profile] kareila
Every once in a while, I run through [site community profile] changelog compiling a list of who has been contributing patches to our code repository, with the understanding that this is not a competition, or any sort of "high score" list. It's intended as a guide for casual developers, to discern not only our most prolific contributors, but also those who have contributed to the project most recently and therefore would be more likely to provide a timely, informed response to development questions. That is why the list is sorted by "Latest" instead of "Changes".

In general, one commit on Github equals one point in the "Changes" column, but fractional points are awarded for collaborative efforts — the most common example being a new S2 theme, where usually half credit is awarded to the theme author and the other half to the person who converts the theme into a code patch. Due to the nature of development, some changes are massive contributions of new code, and others are tiny tweaks; there is no correlation with the amount of effort involved. We are grateful to everyone who helps to improve Dreamwidth, in ways large or small.

(Additional caveat: not all of the changes credited here are live on the site yet, but hopefully soon!)

I last compiled this list in November of 2024. Since that time, we have welcomed [github.com profile] sirilyan as a new contributor! Congratulations and thank you again!
