We have recently extended our efforts to acknowledging the different roles there are when publishing a blog post.
Nuestra propia guía de desarrollo dice Reconocer las diversas formas de contribuciones a nuestra misión es muy importante para rOpenSci:nos gusta dar las gracias a quienes revisan paquetes y en general a todas las personas y organizaciones que contribuyen a los paquetes. Recientemente hemos ampliado nuestros esfuerzos para reconocer las diferentes funciones que existen al publicar un artículo en nuestro blog.
