Quoting Kathy Lussier <[email protected]>:
Hi all,
Several of us at the conference have been discussing the idea of
resetting karma in the #evergreen channel at the end of each annual
conference. From what I understand, this is something that is done
in the code4lib community and allows everyone to start with a clean
slate each year after the conference.
I like this idea because I think it provides it's a better motivator
for new contributors to the community. As it is now, if somebody is
just starting out and is making a lot of contributions that result
in positive karma, it will take years before they catch up to the
karma levels of those of us who have been around for a while. By
resetting the karma points, anyone's given karma level will reflect
the work they are doing now, not the work they did years ago.
I would like to suggest that we reset the karma points in the
#evergreen channel by the end of next week (to give adequate time
for any dissension). For future conferences, I would like to suggest
that the karma points are reset on the Monday after the conference
ends.
Let me know what you think!
Kathy
