Few thoughts on the rewards to offer:
Fancy Kdenlive live CD
T-shirts/hoodies all good ideas, I'd love one!
Pick an outstanding bug to be fixed?
Pick a feature to be implemented (within reason of course and higher
donation)
Contributor page on the website showing all names, as already suggested
Some sort of video project made in Kdenlive with your footage, not sure how
this would work, just a thought
Can't think of any others at the moment
Cheers
Martin
