Change list format in Contributors.md #6663
Comments
@strdr4605, There are some problems to making this change. The biggest problem is that multiple people edit this file at the same time. Everybody should then add their name to the end of the list. So multiple people would put down the same number. Also there will be a LOT of merge conflicts. Maintainers will have to resolve them. (That's why we have a suggestion in the readme to add name at a random position) To know how many people there are, You can do a blame or edit in GitHub. In your local, you can use a text editor with line numbers to find how many people there are. If you have any questions or need any clarifications about this, feel free to comment :) |
@Roshanjossey , does not matter what number will people write. this markdown text: 1. First (created with `1.`)
1. Second (created with `1.`)
1. Third (created with `1.`)

11. Second (created with `11.`)
5345. Third (created with `5345.`)
5345. Fourth (created with `5345.`)
431. Fifth (created with `431.`)

Oh, that's cool. I didn't know that. I learned something new today. Still, I'm not sold on the idea. It's just, once we introduce this, most users would wanna add their entry to the end of the file. Somebody adding it in between will be confused about updating the rest of the numbers. We'll have to add more description to the tutorial that the numbering is not important and it'll render correctly. Which is a digression from what we're trying to get across. At the end of the day, what we have in |
