On Author:
I'm not quite sure: Author does not give huge additional information, but it shows respect to the person who has contributed something awesone to Autohotkey. Therefore they might have deserved being listed with their scripts ....
I would vote to keep author
On Discontinued:
English is not my native language . perhaps a native might find a better wording or enlighten me. I would understand "discontinued" as: "this script has stopped being developed". What I would like to see is a word which says "the author said, this script has stopped being developed". Whilst the first may be true for MANY scripts on the page (who knows which of those scripts are still active developed?), it's an absolute truth in the second case. I think, labelling a script as "stopped being developed" (because the other said this) leads the users attention unjustifiable to other scripts - which also might be not developed any more (but the author didn't say this). As all scripts are possibly discontinued and only some of the authors are so fair to announce this, should only those scripts be stigmatized?
Thinking more about it: everything what's currently considered to be worth to be listed on this page should be in a state where it's mature, usefull and functional. Does it matter in this case, whether the script is discontinued? If there are concerns about the script being discontinued - should it still be worth to be listed on this page?
I would vote to remove Discontinued (or replace by another wording like "officially disannounced" ;-))

Another idea: let's set up a "Historical section" - where awesome scripts are listed which aren't state of the art anymore. Discontinued scripts could be moved there - if they are worth being kept on the awesome list.

What about if we put author name at the end of the item in italic, like this:
[Item name](Item name) - Description and links. Developed by author.
I think it looks better and more structured form and gives first of all useful information to the reader and also states the name of the author. What you think about it?

Good point! I agree with you. The awesome list should only consist of uptodate and working items. I think it is nice to separate historically important items from others. What about creating separate "Historical.md" (or suggest other name) with identical structure of awesome list and put all items that are historically valuable in it?

Sorry for the late answer - was on vacation ;-)
I have no strong feeling about the placement and formatting of the author. One thing I would like to point is, that currently the AAH2html-script (which produces the GH pages) does not support Markdown-formatting very well :-( (this causes to display the italic markup literally - and not rendered as italic ...)
In my eyes there has to be either the AAH2html-script being refactored or the GH-pages to be removed ...
Good suggestion about the "Historical.md" page .... I would like to see an short introductory text there, stating the purpose of the page (For example: This page contains awesome AHK-scripts that are no longer state-of-the-art" ...
(Excuse my poor english, as I'm german ;-))

Created #47 to document creation of page "historical.md"
from awesome-autohotkey.
I know that fiddling with the format would impact on the AAH2html-script.
Still, I'd like to throw another opinion here. 😄
Many authors (as well as related developers - often cited in descriptions) do have a GitHub account, like myself, Lexikos, JoeDF, GeekDude and HotKeyIt.
In addition to any formatting ideas, I think It'd be nice if we managed to actually "mention" them.

- Personally I would remove the authors (by ...) as I don't think it holds useful information and 9 out 10 times it will be pretty obvious once you follow the link to the program/forum or GH repo.
- The HTML version could be removed as @hoppfrosch suggests #21 (comment)
from awesome-autohotkey.
About #21, I'm still waiting on what others think about removing the HTML version. 🐒
from awesome-autohotkey.
#21 is done - I removed gh_pages

- No other awesome lists have autor names. I don't think mentioning author will bring something useful information to the reader. I think awesome list should be awesome first of all to the reader and it should not contain information that he dont needs. If someone wants to see author he can just follow link and see actual author name.
- Aso there is a code that have several authors and we can't mention them all.
I think it is better to remove authors.
from awesome-autohotkey.
It will be nice if more people will state their opinion about should we keep authors or not.
from awesome-autohotkey.
I think keeping the Authors is fine, and is a sort of "tip of the hat" or "kudos" to them. 👍
from awesome-autohotkey.
As we currently have no objections against mentioning the authors I consider the current state as accepted.
