It's interesting (in my mind, disappointing) that Github lists only active staff-- in my mind, humans.txt should document all the people who have ever worked to bring a website to its current state.
- rev_bird 12y agoIt was my understanding that it was supposed to – kind of like the credits at the end of a movie. It's not a list of people who work with the production company when you see the movie, just when it was made. Add people whenever you want, but taking people out just makes it another, less readable "About Us" page.
- Kiro 12y agoIt's not listing all active staff. I wonder what the requirements are.
- kcorbitt 12y agoIf I had to guess, I'd say it lists the people who take the initiative/care enough to edit the file for themselves and commit their updates. Github is famous for having an open organization, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were no designated maintainer/required process to add yourself to humans.txt.
