Second, once a year, we could have a couple of special awards for developers. I was thinking of for example :
- award for hardware maintenance or improvement
- award for software development
- special award to thank a special dedication to some
features recommanded by the board.
Depending on the details of this, I am afraid this could turn out rather detrimental. I don't know about others, but I know I wouldn't even begin to get involved in the development if it takes a ridiculous amount of dedication just to be recognised. (Not saying it would actually -- but if these awards are displayed prominently, it would make that impression.)

Hmmmm, Timwi.
If we had *only* developers having a *ridiculous* dedication to the project, working on it perhaps 15 mn per week at most, releasing totally crappy new features, ugly skin, or if the servers were down 2 hours per day, I agree we would have to nominate three people for *ridiculous* involvement. And it would be very detrimental to say them thank you for their so-low involvment.
If they were SO bad and SO lazy, I even tend to think they would not deserve even 2 cents bounties :-)
I have good news ! I am convinced there are *more* than 3 people who *really* deserve to be proeminently thanked. So let's agree to judge propositions for what they are, and to consider by default that our developers are great guys, okay ?
