A page telling the project history would be better than "I'm an original creator of Apache Foo"

2025-02-16 Thread tison
Hi,

We have seen many threads discussing whether someone self-promotes as
"an original creator of Apache Foo" is suitable.

Today, when I'm reviewing Curator's website, I found an interesting
page [1] that tells the project's history.

[1] https://curator.apache.org/community/history

It clearly states that Jordan Zimmerman is the original author of the
project, which he created while working at Netflix. Later, the project
entered the incubator, graduated, and became a top-level project in
the ASF. All the history after donating is part of Apache Curator.

I would encourage projects to write such a page when they are
interested in identifying the original creators. A project's rationale
explains its motivation, who creates what, and for what reasons (why).
This would be much more valuable content to host. (This is a required
section in the incubation proposal.)

History can continue if anything significant happens after entering
the ASF, but the narrative subject becomes Apache Foo, and we should
be fine with those words.

Best,
tison.

I know for a fact you are not the original Creator or curator cuz I Herbert
do it the 4th and in fact the one who programmed all the tangents in for
that line of purpose because I've never worked with another person on any
of my movies and governments websites connections GPS lines or Internet if
you have any comments or questions about this you should check the location
of every entered character inside of this formatting bill
