Hi Jose!

The contributor information is actually there already, but not very visible.

On h5p.org, you can see who submitted a content type (h5p.org-owner_information-1.png).

In some cases, there's also some hint in the text (h5p.org-owner_information-2.png). Of course, that doesn't help much, because this information is quite hidden. Also, people don't visit this page when they choose a content type.

In the H5P Content Type Hub, there is also some piece of contributor information. When you have a look at the content type details, you can find the contributor right below the content type's title (H5P-Hub-details-owner-information-old.png). Again, quite hidden and probably not clear enough what that field is supposed to be.

I already filed a pull request last week to change that bit of information slightly. If accepted by the H5P core team, a "by" note will preceed that field (H5P-Hub-details-owner-information-new.png).

I just amended that pull request. If accepted by the H5P core team, the contributor information will be visible right away whenever you choose a content type - it's added behind the content type's title in the list that you choose a content type from (H5P-Hub-overview-owner-information-new.png). There are probably many ways to add that piece of information, but I chose the way that content contributor information will be displayed in the upcoming H5P OER Hub to keep the Hub consistent.

So, H5P then has at least the same amount of contributor information that people get when installing a WordPress plugin from the WordPress plugin repository. I am not convinced, however, that this little detail is the decisive factor. Maybe there's more that could help to make it clear that the H5P Hub is populated by content (types) from the H5P core team and the community?

@BV: Since the files that I changed will be updated shortly anyway when the H5P OER Hub is released, could you please make the H5P core team extra aware of this pull request that I already attached to the "content hub" branch that's currently worked on?

Hi Jose,

In addition to the information and possible improvements outlined by otacke the core team has also made an overview page here. The plan is to include that information both on H5P.org on the content type pages and in the content type hub but the core team developers have been very busy for a long time so haven't had the time to implement support for that yet.

I agree that making it very clear what the maintainance status is for the content types is an important first step. Both as a status set by the current maintainer (or the core team) and also as stats on things like when was the last commit, how fast are requests from users related to the content type answered, when was the last release etc.
