Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Resetting karma in IRC
Hi all, I count 16 +1 votes with general consensus that we should 1) preserve karma history from year to year on the wiki and 2) save a copy of the database. Some of this consensus came from an IRC discussion as well as this e-mail thread: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/evergreen/2015-05-18#i_176015 I therefore think we can ask the #evergreen bot operators to reset karma for the channel and to preserve the data that was requested. If you need any help moving anything to the wiki, let me know. I also like Jason's comment about recognizing folks outside the IRC channel. It reminds me of the unsung heroes presentation Tara Robertson pulled together a few years back. I have several new names for that list if anyone decides to do an unsung heroes thing again. Maybe we can create a spot on the wiki where we point to all these different ways that we've recognized community contributions. Thanks all!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Resetting karma in IRC
What’s the point of doing this? Why erase karma for people who have been big contributors in the past, but may not be AS active now, but are still active? If there is a particular set of users that we feel need karma reset, that seems fine, but why erase the entire history? How about we preserve the history year to year on the wiki then?
