I can't see any reason that I'm mentioned in almost every piece of documentation on the site. I'd rather not be mentioned in any of them, regardless of what I contribute. Here is an easy way to remove me: cd xml/htdocs find . -name \*.xml | xargs perl -i -0777 -pe \ 's/\n<author.*\s*<mail link="agriffis\@.*\n<.author.*//g' cvs diff cvs commit -m "remove agriffis per his request" If I need to be listed somewhere as a partial copyright holder for the sake of the documentation licensing, it would be nice if that were available on a separate page. IMHO the only people that should be listed per-document are the 1-2 *primary* contributers, otherwise it's just a huge meaningless list.
We keep this information in the guides themselves, not elsewhere, since they are really guide-specific. You don't want your name listed or is it your e-mail that you want removed? We can easily do <author title="Whatever"> Aron Griffis </author> instead of <author title="Whatever"> <mail link="agriffis@gentoo.org">Aron Griffis</mail> </author> which happens quite a lot. Otherwise I would prefer to comment you out, like <!-- Does not want to be listed on the rendered page <author title="Whatever"> <mail link="agriffis@gentoo.org">Aron Griffis</mail> </author> -->
(In reply to comment #0) > I can't see any reason that I'm mentioned in almost every piece of documentation on the site. You're not. You're only listed in the handbook and the following docs: neysx@basil ~/gentoo.org/gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc $ grep -Rl agriffis *|grep -v handbook en/articles/lpi-101-fundamentals-p1.xml en/articles/lpi-101-administration-p2.xml and in the following files /proj/en/base/index.xml /proj/en/metastructure/userinfo.xml /proj/en/metastructure/herds/pkgList.xml /proj/en/metastructure/herds/herds.xml /proj/en/devrel/manager-meetings/logs/2003/20031201.txt /proj/en/devrel/manager-meetings/logs/2004/20040719.txt /proj/en/devrel/roll-call/userinfo.xml /proj/en/releng/release/2004.3/2004.3.xml /proj/en/releng/release/2005.0/2005.0.xml /proj/en/releng/release/2005.1/2005.1.xml /proj/en/keychain/index.xml which are not under our control. That's hardly most of 5000+ xml files. You also appear in a few GWNs, many of which would be a pita to fix because they are not valid anymore and can't be committed as such.
Sven and Xavier, thanks for the quick replies on this silly bug. First, Xavier, I'm sorry, I exaggerated the number of hits. I've just been surprised to find my name on so many handbook pages. It seems like overkill. Personally I find the print pages a lot easier to read without the huge list of people on the RHS of the page. Maybe it's just me... ;-) Sven, I like the option of being excluded from the rendered pages. I also like the option of not including my email address. So here's an updated command: cd xml/htdocs/doc find . -name \*.xml | xargs perl -i -0777 -pe \ 's|\n<author.*\s*<mail link="agriffis\@.*\n<.author.*| <!-- Does not want to be listed on the rendered page <author title="Gentoo Developer"> Aron Griffis </author> -->|g' Of course I still recommend the cvs diff prior to commit... ;-)
Finished; thanks for the one-liner.
