It's also unclear what some of it means. In the section about
supporting quality contributions, it says: "Continue to leverage
feature articles, barn-stars and other simple rewards to recognize

doesn’t undermine volunteer spirit."

What does "continue to leverage" mean in terms of Foundation input?
