The following rules apply to the author’s signature:
- Simple signatures, e.g., SO = 'in process'
- Signatures in round brackets, e.g., (SO) = 'finished'
- Signatures in curly brackets, e.g., {SO} = 'Changes implemented'
The same applies to multiple authors. Translators will be treated as further authors: SO/SL, including the above-mentioned rules for use of brackets. The signatures show who the primary author (= auct) and who the translator (= trad.) is. It is important for each translator to also improve any unclear passages in the source text after consulting with the original author.
The listed logging conventions are only valid for VA_XXX; in finalized versions all signatures will be set to (nn) or (nn | nn).
