We are giving 0 karma for registration. We award points for creating connections between communities/objects. Points will be given for linking a package to an upstream project for example. We are not giving karma for registering a project or team. In summary, 0 points for something that helps you, lots of points for something that helps others [1]. This is the common practice in karma rules. [1] /me thinks blueprints violates this rule. -- __Curtis C. Hovey_________ http://launchpad.net/
