Need Help Developing a Recognition and Rewards Program for GNU, Free Software

[Timothy Rue]

What's the goal?

The goal is to develop and impliment a rewards and recognition program
that appriciates the people who do things to move GNU Free Software
forward in development and use, while strengthening what is weaknesses of
GNU, Free Software and to encourage people to do more, by anyone in the
spectrum of development, sales, training, support and use. From paying
them full time to do these things, to supplimenting their income for
lessor efforts to even just helping to cause a cash flow that is needed
to accomplish these improvements.

Right now Decussion is directed to the usenet newsgroup gnu.misc.discuss
under a thread titled "GNU Recognition and Rewards program discussion".
Please followup there as I may not otherwise see your response.

There is more I've written, a compilation of things I've communicated
elsewhere, that will start that thread. But in the event it has not yet
propogated thru the internet (such as would be the case in accessing
Usenet newsgroups thru services like Google), you can find a copy of what
that post contains at
