I would like that all developers (others may participate as well of course) help setting up a list to define how development tasks completed could be rewarded.
This will be followed by a public poll to define how the rewards would be perceived...
and a private poll for developers to know what their opinion on the matter is
Please, contribute to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bounty
thanks :-)
I don't know about the other MediaWiki developers, but the only reward I'd ask for for working on MediaWiki is that people work hard to make great articles and a strong, friendly communities with this software.
If I could ask for anything else, I'd ask that people treat each other with the gratitude and respect they deserve. Everyone who puts work into these projects -- editorial, technical, community-building -- deserves our appreciation and kudos.
