HI,
Here is an idea:
Can we offer $20 to the first 3 binding voters of a release on general@? We
would structure the contract as such:
"The first 3 binding voters on Apache TinkerPop x.y.z get $20 regardless of
their vote being a -1 or +1. However, the binding voter must give an honest review of the
artifacts and specify exactly what they did which led them to their ultimate vote
decision. Any dishonesty in voting disqualifies the individual from receiving their cash
prize."
This seems a reasonable (and fair way) of getting VOTE attention much like the
other marketing models currently being posited by the general@ list.
Thoughts?,
Thought 1: Who is "we" in this scenario? That is, whose budget do you
imagine the $60 coming out of?
Thought 2: No, there's no chance that this kind of expenditure would be
permissible under our non-profit status.
Thought 3: Even if someone persuades me that it's permissible, it seems
pretty clearly a Bad Thing To Do. The day we have to start paying people
to vote, we should lock the doors and go home.
