Sortable tables

Well, since the MediaWiki software has been upgraded, sortable tables work out-of-the-box. I propose that the CSS be updated with .odd and .even class formats similar to Template:Dev1 and Template:Dev2, rendering the two templates obsolete (at least in their current format). With this wiki editors doesn’t have to change every row of dev1 and dev2 any longer.

Hm. Now when only the core devs is (should be) mentioned, perhaps this is more appropriate:
Name IRC nick Forum nick Occupation Location
Bjørn Lindeijer b_lindeijer Bjørn Lead programmer The Netherlands
I also removed the location from the contributors page, since it’s not really relevant in my humble opinion (further, many had no location given, it would be a heck to keep those locations given up-to-date, and why we even should keep track of many former contributors’ locations...). ✎ Kess☽ 02:28, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Split between contributors and active developers

I like to see 2 wikiarticles, one with all the active developers and one with the contributors. In the list with active developers, all developers with git access, and/or have an (active) important role with the project. All the other people (retired, contributed only 1 thing etc) on the list with the contributors. EJ 13:43, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I like this idea very much! Perhaps then the current Developers page is for the “VIPs” and Contributors for the rest? In a similar vein the in-game help (F1) needs to be updated, and then there is all those AUTHORS files in the source... ✎ Kess☽ 14:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
I’ve just made this split. So, please consider fixing the css as mentioned in the section above. Also, the non-core developers need to be removed from this article, I’m not up to that task. ✎ Kess☽ 02:08, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
