I'm not sure what you mean by "monetary incentive". I was considering handing a t-shirt or beer token to the most productive sprinters, but that's about the limit of it, and I suspect that would come out of my pocket. I'd also emphasize that I am exactly as far as I stated on this: I'm mulling it over and asking for feedback. If it turns out that there are other things that python-dev feels are more necessary but similarly unglamorous, then I'll think about doing that instead. > Also, from the work that Mark Lawrence has been doing on the tracker in > the past few weeks, it's apparent that a dedicated person can achieve a > lot without pay.
