Design #943
Managing credits
Description
From #711 (8) (External Libs: print credits?)
If we do implement some scheme for recognising use of external libraries, probably we should also do something similar for contributed packages -- that way, those who do contribute to CoCoA could get some recognition. Then if we do it for contributed packahes, what about contributed parts of CoCoALib?

Updated by Yes, it would be good to find a way of giving recognition to those who have contributed to CoCoA(Lib).
A possible first step could simply be a function called contributors which prints out a short description of who has contributed what. Perhaps a reference to this fn could be inserted in the "banner" when you start CoCoA?
While it might be "nicer" to print out credits when contributed code is actually used, I think that doing so in a correct and not overly intrusive manner would be tricky. KISS!

- Status changed from New to In Progress
The function ExternalLibs() does not work properly. It must be fixed using the new CoCoALib fn.
