Yeah, we need positive feedback, not negative feedback. I think that every approved review (as tracked by some program, e.g., Danny's patch queue e-mail reader) the approver should get a gooble. And, just to make it more fun, the submitter should get one also. Whoever has the most goobles in any month gets to be Gcc Poobah of the Month. Whoever has the most in a year gets to be Gcc Grand Poobah for the next year. If we find a sponsor, or we all chip in a dollar, then the Gcc Grand Poobah can get a T-shirt and a funny hat. This may sound kind of dumb, but, hey, in an insular community people can care about the most trivial of things, even if they don't take them seriously. E.g., Slashdot Karma. Or, this may sound extremely dumb, in which case, never mind. Ian
