Matt, I think this is a splendid way to raise visibility of Plone in general while giving a much deserved tip o' the hat to hard working, creative developers, designers, and even innovative users.
Your proposal is much more effictive than my "Plone Metrics Person-of-the-Year Award" every Dec. 31. That one is entirely my call and is basically worth a free beer if a winner can find me. (BTW, previous winners were http://plonemetrics.blogspot.com/2007/12/plone-metrics-person-of-year_31.html Alexander Limi (2007) and http://plonemetrics.blogspot.com/2008/12/plone-metrics-person-of-year.html Joel Burton (2008).) Your concept provides a reasonably fair framework while rewarding a wide spectrum of Plone talent. I'll admit there'll be a certain amount of overhead work, but the internal and external payoffs are large. My only complaint is that "Ploney" rhymes with phony and that has pretty negative connotations. I'd go with something straight-forward like "1st Annual Plone Awards." Thanks for the well thought-out and detailed proposal.
