Indicate your role

Good Idea…

But would be best to define categories before

Based on a post by @Flaburgan I propose the following :

Usr : only user (can ask for feature, test new feature, report bugs…)

Dev : Developer and coder (programmer) that contributes the code on github

Tr : Translation

Su : Support : Help users with our projects
 (by anwering in forums, google, groups, wiki, faq …

Co : Communication : Promote our projects (directed to users)

Ev : Evangelism : Promote our projects (directed to devs)

Bt : Build tools around our projects (website for promotion, tools for translation, blogs… etc.) (eg : diaspora-project.org, podupti.me, etc)

No need to shorten them so they need a glossary ;) there's plenty of space

or register at the project site and add yourself to the correct category? ;) http://diaspora-project.org/supporters

I'm not sure the categories are good .. what is collaborator? Plus the page name "Supporters" is kind of odd to me.

No thanks. I don't support this.

Alright. Maybe the page http://diaspora-project.org/supporters is sufficient…

@Jason I'm willing to add/adjust different additional category tags. Collaborator just sounded like a good way to describe people that maybe support the project through evangelism or by showing up everyday out on the stream.

After all, part of Diaspora's big appeal isn't just that it's decentralized or has a good layout, a huge appeal comes from the people that show up everyday and contribute to the community as a whole simply by being there.

I didn't expect a detailed discussion about this, just change your display name to something you think is appropriate and a convention will establish itself.

You don't have to standardise everything you know.

Robin, it just doesn't seem like a good idea imho :) If someone thinks it's a good idea, they can do it of course.
