I think as long as we remain volunteers, most of us will edit whatever
we want, whenever we want. If you want to work out some sort of
brownie point system for those whom you entice to work in the least
glamorous areas of the encyclopedia, it might be fun enough for some
people to play along with, but Wikipedians generally prefer to be
self-directed.
