The contribution system currently is derived from a simple distribution of "points" to one or more userids through a list, which doesn't provide a reward for some auxilliary, but immensely useful activities:
- Pairing -- one user will always suffer by virtue of being listed second
- Maintenance -- how much maintenance do you have to do before you should move your
name up in the contributor's list? What if you've basically replaced everything in
the initial class with superior code?
- What about contributions to documentation? To tests? To static content/materials/
quests, etc?
We should probably discuss ideas for Influence contribution points page in the wiki before implementing anything.
