1 | The THANKS file: |

2 | |
---|
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: |

9 | Trinity Core THANKS file |
---|
10 | |
---|
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 |
---|
13 | by submitting bug reports, code patches, and suggestions. Thanks to the |
---|
14 | community! |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | Special thanks should go out to the WowwoW team. We have gained help from |
---|
17 | them many times in the creation of this project. Keep up the good work guys. |
---|

---|
19 | Thanks to the ImpConfig developer (dythzer) for the custom configuration patch. |

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

---|
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 | then a flag to you that the initial greeting has been sent. |
