[arg_discuss] Giving credit where credit is due (ARGdb credits)

[Steve Peters]

In my thinking, credits are for individuals. The company can always be
listed in addition (is there a field for this? Dunno I haven't actually
entered anything from scratch, yet).

The whole point of credits is to list the individuals behind something. I
want to see the team behind a project, that's the important stuff, more than
what company they were working for at the time. People may come, people may
go (from company to company), but their credits remain, and it's the
*people* I'm interested in, what they've worked on and what roles they've
played. 

I'd think very carefully about just listing a single company credit over
individuals' contributions, even if it is "just lil' ol' you." Transparency
is good. So is teambuilding. :)
