Thanks for doing this.
In my culture, thanking oneself is quite awkward, so updating my own
âthanksâ entry is a bit upsetting. I still remember how shocked I was
when I was told, the first time I attended a GCC Summit, that I was
supposed to create and update my own entry. âThat can't be right!â was
my reaction ;-)
I wonder how universal that feeling is, and whether we should promote
the habit of updating each others' entries, both to avoid this awkward
situation and as a real indication of gratitude and significance of
contributions.
