Random observation -- what's up with almost 20 of the 24 'contributors' to this project mostly having made 1 edit changes to the README? Is this some kind of pervasive Github resume padding scheme that I'm just now picking up on? (it will show the repo in the "Repositories contributed to" section of your profile even for just those 1-line README edits)

- jonahx 12y agoIt's possible, but it's also standard practice on github to submit even minor typos or spelling errors via a pull request, and that automatically makes you a contributor if accepted. So there's not necessarily anything nefarious going on.
- spicyj 12y agoAs the supposed #2 contributor to the project (with 3 commits), I'd say it's far more likely that the README is simply the most visible piece of the project (or was, before the website was released today) and people contribute back typo fixes as they encounter errors.
- leebyron 12y agoNot nefarious, but definitely something to keep in mind if you recruit via github committer lists :) I accept any reasonable pull request, even if it's a spelling fix. There have been some great bug fix pulls as well.
