often for no good reason [1], like forum posts, ftp/torrent upload amounts... I'm pretty sure that groups could stay the ones that Bill lists, and that we would all feel a little boost in motivation by having these bugzilla points (or something similar) set up. This would allow some effort recognition, and would allow us to quickly identify who we are dealing with in a package review. I'm all for it.
A coherent recognition system would probably be a good idea for retention and recruitment. Some people respond to that sort of thing.. I'm not one of them. Something like an outstanding contributors list with a threshold 'point' value that was engineered to highlight people who have maintained a threshold involvement consistently over some time. And perhaps a second list engineering to include people who are ramping up their involvement. If we were really on the ball, we'd squander some money taking out a full page ad in a paper like the world renownd Fairbanks Daily Miner ( or maybe the less well known NYT for people with more provincial interests) just to get all the names listed in a high profile thank you note. That'd puff up contributor morale in some quarters and make for an interesting round of secondary laypress articles to counterbalance the poor coverage over this past week. -jef"doesn't need recognition, jef needs free swag.
