Re: Tweaks to about dialog

 

Can we have a link to a page on the website where we have a long form list?
Updating a binary file with a fluid list of contributors seems hokey.

The 3D models for example are now script generated using Maurice's tools
but contributed by various people.

Well if you want to keep that panel it should represent all those people
who have provided artistry to kicad, as such for those non programmers
maybe there needs to be a script or similar that someone can just put their
name in and it will spit out a patch that can be submitted to the mailing
list
