I've thought about that sort of thing too. The risk with any "incentive" is that some people may be tempted to approve feeds more recklessly than they should, in a rush to accumulate points for whatever incentive.
One thing that would reduce the pending-review backlog of feeds that are actually being watched by somebody would be to have a "next Suggested feed waiting for review" link/button. The idea would be to skip over feeds that were discovered, rather than suggested, since it's less likely that somebody is actively watching to see when discovered feeds are approved. That approach wouldn't reduce the backlog itself, but it would sort of "prioritize" it for those Reviewers who wanted to work with it that way. I think it would reduce the "please review" requests and "I've been waiting for months" comments. Anyway, it would be interesting to know what the breakdown is in the queue, i.e., how many feeds are discovered versus suggested. -- Stuart "Rattlesnake Stu" Whitmore ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.just-stuart.com/ My donkey* list: 274472, 312203, 356917 * Think of Donkey on the Shrek DVD main menu... ;-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
