[Foundation-l] Rewarding volunteers

[Jimmy (Jimbo) Wales]

Just to say my usual bit about this, I'm all for rewarding volunteers,
and the best way to do that is with kind words, mutual respect, and
admiration for good deeds.  Mathematical formulas can never replace
taking the time to say "thank you" or "I am a fan of your work" when
you see an article that you like.

Algorithmic reputation systems are always a temptation, just because
they are possible.  But human reputation systems are much more nuanced
and powerful.
