 My company, and many others, have a policy of sponsoring WordPress
 community contribution, core and otherwise, by strongly encouraging
 employees to participate during paid company hours. I want to open a
 discussion on how this company contribution could be recognised, while not
 allowing "corporates" to take over the credits page on each release.

  * Would greater recognition encourage your company to foster
 contribution?
  * Should companies contributing employee time to WordPress, particularly
 core contributions, be recognised?
  * How should companies be recognised?
  * What are the pros and cons for the WordPress project in allowing this
 kind of recognition?

 This follows a [https://twitter.com/jenmylo/status/320144575266160640
 Twitter conversation] re showing company names in the WordPress credits
 page, and Nacin's suggestion to open this discussion.
