| 3 | All distributions should contain a `THANKS' file containing a two column list |
---|
| 4 | of the contributors, one per line, alphabetically sorted. The left column gives |
---|
| 5 | the contributor's name, while the right column gives the last known good email |
---|
| 6 | address for this contributor. This list should be introduced with a wording |
---|
| 7 | similar to this one: |

[33] | 9 | Trinity Core THANKS file |

---|
[33] | 11 | Trinity Core is a derivation/rewrite of MaNGOS, which was originally written |
---|
| 12 | by Team Python and the WoW Daemon Team. Many people further helped Trinity Core |
---|
[34] | 13 | by submitting bug reports, code patches, and suggestions. Thanks to the |
---|
| 14 | community! |
---|
[2] | 15 | |
---|
[34] | 16 | Special thanks should go out to the WowwoW team. We have gained help from |
---|
[2] | 17 | them many times in the creation of this project. Keep up the good work guys. |

[34] | 19 | Thanks to the ImpConfig developer (dythzer) for the custom configuration patch. |

| 21 | Thanks to the ScriptDev2 team (http://www.scriptdev2.com) for scripts. |

---|
[2] | 23 | The easiest policy with this file is to thank everyone who contributes to the |
---|
| 24 | project, without judging the value of the contribution. |
---|
| 25 | |
---|
| 26 | Unlike `AUTHORS', the `THANKS' file is not maintained for legal reasons. It is |
---|
| 27 | maintained to thank all the contributors that helped you out in your project. |
---|
| 28 | The `AUTHORS' file can not be used for this purpose because certain |
---|
| 29 | contributions, like bug reports or ideas and suggestions do not require legal |
---|
| 30 | paper exchanges. |
---|
| 31 | |
---|
| 32 | You can also decide to send some kind of special greeting when you initially |
---|
| 33 | add a name to your `THANKS' file. The mere presense of a name in `THANKS' is |
---|
[34] | 34 | then a flag to you that the initial greeting has been sent. |
