I am all for more resources for anything bitcoin related. And I am sure everyone feels the same.
But at the end, bitcoin is more or less real money now. You can exchange to real cash.
These is already a Contributors award which a bot will do the work on ranking contribution.
Is the Chinese version included? being counted for that Contributors award?
Is there is no bot to determine contribution level, argument or disappointment may arise.
It is awfully difficult to follow changes just by looking at the history, especially if a page is modified numerous times.
If I open a new page, write a couple of sentences. And the other people comes an write a couple of sentences each, with changes and deletion in between, how to you determine the contribution level with naked eye. And we are talking about 15 pages!
... student would be disappointed to find out he only gets any payment after doing everything and would give up ...
The bounty is not a lot but an encouragement.
Yes. It would be bad if they or anyone for that matter put in the efforts and not getting anything, or don't feel like they get a fair share. So a bit more open and quantifiable measure is better.
If the Chinese version is counted for that Contribution award, then Chinese contributors should get something at least.
I am not sure but.. how about asking MagicalTux and confirm that point first?? And maybe the bot can count contributions under the Chinese sub-domain and determine the ranking !?
And just like that contribution award, create a pool so other people can put bitcoin in it to make it more attractive?
