Not off topic, in response to thread about Goobles, and the contest to collect Goobles towards the purely symbolic end of becoming GCC Grand Poobah -- does this person get their own parking space? E-mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarded to them during thge duration of their reign?
i think if direct benefits were engineered somehow -- even symbolicly, which they are, but more explicitly symbolicly -- there might be more better patches. Until someone comes up with a way to organize open-source projects as revenue generators -- even if only as t-shirt stores, with revenues from the t-shirts shared according to a decaying contribution share model -- an easy way to divide up the pie, no matter how small -- apathy will continue to reign. speaking very generally here, all volunteer-staffed best-efforts software projects share these kinds of problems.
