Hi GTFS community!

Some data producers told us they'd like to provide attribution of the data, and that the existing fields feed_publisher_url and agency_name weren't enough, because other stakeholders were implied... and were asking to be given credit.

Given the broad variety of such stakeholders (French "Autorité Organisatrice", German "Verbund", the SF Bay Area MTC which is "planning, financing and coordinating", aggregators like Danish Rejseplannen...), we ended up drafting a proposal allowing any kind of attribution (aka free text).

The draft is here: GTFS-Attributions bit.ly/gtfs-attributions

Since this question was closely knitted with the question of translation in GTFS, we also drafted a proposal for translations in GTFS. It is inspired of the Google's one, but stricter and improved.

The draft is there: GTFS-Translations bit.ly/gtfs-translations

As usual, I'm posting it as Issues to gather your impressions, and if we get closer to a consensus I'll move it as proposal.

Thanks!
Leo
