Acknowledgements

Will turn these ideas into an ADR for further discussion and eventual adoption - Paul Butler

  • How should we acknowledge contributing institutions? Do we continue to use logos? If so how do we decide?
  • The suggestion we currently have is:
    • We will remove the logos from the SasView application and rephrase the wording to avoid listing institutions.
    • We will add lists of affiliations to the people page on sasview.org, alongside a separate list of contributor camp hosts.
    • We will also update the grants section of the people page, and the contributors.tsv file in the SasView repo.
  • We currently have around 30 contributing institutions, over 20 of which are universities.
  • General consensus is that having full lists of institutions and/or logos on sasview.org is easier than in the application itself.
  • Please let us know of any grants that we may be missing.
