No problem, as long as there are no disagreements later!
The research showed that people driven by an extrinsic motivator were
less creative than those driven by an intrinsic motivator.
This usage is one of the few cases where a reward doesn't decrease
creativity as the reward is just something nice to do and not an
expectation of participation.
At any rate - I am finding it a really interesting read and it seemed
apropos to the topic.

I think I missed the most interesting point. Applying an extrinsic
motivator (reward) to an already intrinsically motivating task makes
people LESS creative than they would have been without it.
It's more about whether the motivation is coming from inside or outside.

So I'm not an expert (and reading half a book about the topic
certainly doesn't make me one).
However, my take (based mainly on reading this research) is that
making sure it is 2/3 recognition 1/3 cash will go further towards
accomplishing this goal. For instance a page on the website publicly
recording the recognition and celebration.

Well, like I said it is worth reading the book.
But, briefly, the goal makes people focused on the goal and not on the
challenge. With the narrowed focus people took much longer to see
non-obvious solutions.
Or watching the author's video on TED:

Sorry about what I believe to be somehow off-topic, but considering
that the prize objective is to foster the group's motivation, this
subject may be relevant.
Kindly,

A Rock Bottom Brewery gift card would be mighty nice ;)
Believe me, I'm not doing it for the money. While I would love to have a job where I could focus on Lift/Scala all day long, just being involved with such an incredible group of people is reward enough :)
Hey guys,
We're announcing the "Happy Lift'r Prize". The prize will be given every 2. wednesday of the month and has the value of $100. It goes to someone who has been awesome in the Lift community. In the case of multiple winners the prize will be split equally.
If someone has been helpful you can nominate them by replying to this thread with a small description of who the person is and what he/she has done of awesome things. If you spent some time working on the WIKI (or have been helpful in some other way) it's perfectly acceptable to remind people of your great work by replying to this thread as well.
So, keep being as awesome as you are now and maybe you will be able to collect the first bounty the 10 of November.
Thanks,
Mads Hartmann Jensen --

Congratulations Daniel!!
Thank you guys! After 6 days celebrating non-stop I finally found the
time to write my speech of thanks. :-)
It has now almost become a year since I've started with Lift and I
still have the feeling that there's so much more to explore (i.e. I've
never worked with mapper so far). After evaluating Lift (jpa-archetype
--> nice work btw Derek!) with our proof of concept project called
"Travel Companion" I decided to invest some additional time in Lift's
overwhelming Ajax / Comet support for a project called "Lift Poker".
Meanwhile, I'm in the very lucky position that I can (and certainly
want to) create my projects in Scala / Lift furthermore.
The happy Lift'r price is a good approach to motivate people to help
others. Personally, I was and will never be a fan of it due to one
simply reason: $$$. Thankfully, David states that you are free to
choose the kind of your prize which led me to open my photoshop and
create the (maybe) first "Happy Lift'r of the month" certificate:
http://www.danielhobi.ch/lift/liftr_prize.psd
http://www.danielhobi.ch/lift/liftr_prize_2.psd
(I'm no designer so changes are highly appreciated!)
Don't get me wrong: Some feel honored by getting a gift card and yes:
please feel honored! I (and maybe others of you guys too) feel more
joy by having a certificate hanging on their wall stating: Happy
Lift'r Month 2011 signed by the founder of the Lift Webframework David
Pollak.
Daniel

Thanks guys. I know my contribution so far has been small, especially compared to previous winners, but I hope to keep the Squeryl integration evolving and prove worthy of the Happy Lift'r title :)
