Fix Credits about lecture-source-jl HOT 10 CLOSED

Sounds good. For now, if there is someone not listed in https://lectures.quantecon.org/about_lectures.html#id7 I think you should add a note to this issue so we don't lose them

from lecture-source-jl.

@arnavs Thanks so much for this. Based on https://github.com/jstac/QuantEcon.lectures/issues/1195#issuecomment-417498436 I think that can now take the next steps:

1. Standardize the Coauthored with XXX and YYY at the top of the page where there are co-authors
2. Remove all other names from the sourcecode/etc.
3. Get these names merged into the global contributors, as in https://github.com/jstac/QuantEcon.lectures/issues/1195#issuecomment-417498436

@jstac : I don't think we have access to the make PRs on the main attributions page, so perhaps you could have someone on the python page merge these in based on however you want to organize the "Developers" vs. "Other Contributors"?

Probably best to do all in one repo after the first pass.

OK, per @jlperla, I did a first pass; below are the names of people whose names come up in the lectures but who aren't credited on the global attribution paragraph. Some of these cites are for QuantEcon.jl contributions which are tightly bound to the lectures.

• Max Huber
• Balint Szoke
• Victoria Gregory
• Willem Hekman
• Guanlong Ren (with Will, for solving Ex. 1 in linear_algebra)
• Alberto Polo (for editing the Wald_Friedman_jl.ipynb
• Ranjan Ananthamaran (for working on lss.jl in QuantEcon, which powers the linear_models lecture).
• Zac Cranko (for the lqcontrol file in the QuantEcon package).
• Colin Beckingham (for work on the QuantEcon.jl/src/markov/markov_approx.jl file, which solves Exercise 3).

Also, below is the table I was using to keep track of references to people by name. Doesn't directly apply to a task, but I figure it's useless to just destroy it. Some lines may omit frequent contributors.

OK, I did a few passes on the Julia side and the code should be free of names. What's the plan for merging in the names above? Should I add them to the individual index pages for the Julia, or are we doing something globally?

from lecture-source-jl.

@jstac We will take your lead on this, as I am not sure which repo/file this would go in. I think it may be on the global website?

Alternatively, if there is some repo we could add an issue in with this list of names, then we could close things out here.

I'm actually not sure to put global credits, now I think about it. Soon the lectures.quantecon.org portal will be used to link to multiple lecture sites (python, julia, data bootcamp). Perhaps each of those needs their individual "Preface / About these lectures" page, and credits belong there.

Or, we could put some additional credits down the bottom of https://quantecon.org/team.

That page is easy to edit.

Sounds good @jstac. For now, I've created a credits text file in the repo with this list of names, so we don't lose them.

Put back names from exercises
