Dynamic Contributors List

[nikmd23]

It'd be awesome if the listing of contributors on the home page and community page was dynamically updated from GitHub's API

I think there should be several listings:

1. Reviewers - This most likely will come from a config file (.json?) and for now contain @avanderhoorn and @nikmd23, along with our Twitter handles.
2. Committers - This should also from from a config file (the same .json file?) and for now should contain @CGijbels and @bholdt along with their Twitter handles.
3. Contributors - This should pull a list of all contributors from GitHub (including all /Glimpse repos + the wiki repo), filtering out the reviewers and committers. These users should be sorted by number of commits, but we won't show that number in the UI (at least for now).
4. Extenders - This should show the list of NuGet users who have created packages that depend on Glimpse somewhere in their dependency tree.
   We already have a bunch of NuGet info that drives the Gallery page. We can leverage that to generate this list.
5. Helpers - This should show the list of StackOverflow users that have accepted answers to questions tagged with Glimpse.

To be honest, number 4 and 5 are "nice to haves", and we can probably even think of a 6th or 7th category if we tried hard enough.

Personally, I don't like separating out extenders/helpers. They are all contributors making the Glimpse community better in their own way. However, we'd end up with duplicates in the list (because many people contribute in several systems) so separating them into different groupings skirts the issue.

Lastly, this list will be pretty large and continually grow. On the home page we should limit the number we show to 11, starting with the reviewers, then committers and finally the tops contributors by commit count. Let's leave the "Help us out, and get your name in lights." square the way it is.

Great idea. I will come up with a few options for us to have a look at.

I agree with making all contributors (extenders/helpers/contributors), but perhaps just highlighting where they have contributed.

Great stuff mate! This will really help us thank/acknowledge people.

@ianoxley most of the back-end stuff has been taken care of by #28 . Would be great if you could have a look at the front end as discussed. Let us know if you need any more direction.
For the time being it would just replace the current partial view of the home page of the contributors.

The home page looks great. I love the animation that is there and how its working. Just a quick question, are we still needing to update the UI list of contributors on the Community page?

Thanks for picking that one up. This page also needs to be made dynamic.
Still static at the moment.

I'll have a look at making that page dynamic too, now the homepage is out of the way.
