Refactor credits page

[wjt]

Currently the (very nice!) scrolling credits page is constructed by copying the controls and hand-editing text in each section. This makes it harder to keep up to date and expand as we need to add new sections.

I propose to refactor it to separate the data from the presentation. The data could be stored in a tree of resources:

CreditsSection:

• title
• optional logo
• optional URL
• Array[CreditsSubsection]

CreditsSubSection:

• optional title
• Array[CreditsEntry]

CreditsEntry:

• display name
• github username (optional)
• email addresses: Array[String]
• url (optional)

Having done that, we could then make some scenes that would be instanced to display this data.

The point of having the github username / email addresses / ... data is that we have patches in the git history with different real names & email addresses for the same person; and even if all of those line up, it can actually be hard to match them up to GitHub usernames. Since we have to maintain this data anyway, we may as well store it all in one place. However all 3 of those identifiers should be optional.

I tried doing the nested resources approach and it's actually really really annoying to edit.

New approach I'll prototype:

• Maintain the credits in a CSV
• Write an import plugin to turn the CSV into a resource with a structure as above

Made some headway on this!
