The author for the 2023 Thanksgiving blog article (https://bssw.io/blog_posts/thank-you-from-the-bssw-io-editorial-team) is "The BSSw.io Editorial Team".

Is that really what we want? (It may be, but I'm suggesting we should be a little more thoughtful about it.)

An alternative would be using the individual names of the contributors.

  • Pros: This gives the individual contributors credit in the contributors list
  • Cons: It is not immediately obvious that these are the members of the Editorial Board (though it is in the second sentence of the article)

If we want to stick with The BSSw.io Editorial Team, then we probably need to add an entry to Site/Contributors.md to map the name so it shows up in a more sensible location in the alphabetical listing of contributors (currently it is alphabetized by Team). I would suggest BSSw.

Note that there seems to be a bug at the moment on the production site where the Contributors.md mappings are not being respected. Parallactic has been notified and will fix that.

FWIW, I think the authorship as is now works fairly decently. When I click on the "Author", I get to an entry for the team and when I click on the GitHub link from that, I get to a page that shows the whole team. I guess Team composition will change over time and it won't always be the case that ALL team members contribute to such articles but I still think that is all ok. Each section is introduced with the person's name.

A long list of authors robs us of precious verticle space too and I don't think it really does much more.

FYI, I've added the requisite mapping to the Site/Contributors.md file. As soon as Parallactic rolls out their bug fix, this should kick in to map what we currently have to show up alphabetically under BSSw.

I'll leave this open for a bit in case anyone wants to speak in favor of changing to the individual authors, but assuming everyone's happy, we can close.
