Add multiple contributors and their role to news articles

Problem to solve

News articles only list authors. Credits to other contributors must be added to the bodytext. This prevents statistics and connection to a future contribution karma system.

Proposal

Add this information to news articles through an unlimited number of IRRE relations containing two fields:

  • A drop-down menu for selecting role. The items are derived from TypoScript (i.e. a predefined list).

  • Selection field for choosing a single frontend user (as in News on typo3.org today).

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Every contribution step for an article can be tracked. People smile more because their contribution is visualized in a better way than today.
