CLUB 50 - bug champions, idea or reality?

last days i was fixing bugs for plone. yes it was that montly plone tuneup. i saw some new faces, i miss some old ones, but i think we achieve the goal. in comming week Gabrielle will probably sent status of bugs and how successfull we were last tuneup.

since there are quite few bugs left to fix i was thinking how to attract more ppl to fix them. i would really like to see "bugless" plone (well at least as little bugs as possible). idea i have is called CLUB 50.

whats club 50? its a club with yearly subscribtion
how do i get in? you fix 50 bugs in one month and you get yearly subscription
what are benefits of club 50? you'll get listed on "CLUB 50 list of the month"
what is "CLUB 50 list of the month"? its a listing of people that fix 50 or more bugs and is placed on first page of plone.org

probably idea needs to be polished i just want to put it out there to discuss, maybe someone in the past thought of this but then it didnt work, maybe number 50 should be changed, i dont know, for me it seems reasonable and will motivate me to fix 50bugs a months at least i would tried to. anyway we should talk more about this. what do you think? would you fix 50 bugs to get into CLUB 50? what PF board members think of this, especialy placing top debugers of last month on first page on plone.org?

PS. i will not be in DC, but it would be nice if somebody present the effort of Plone TuneUp's on lightning talks.

plone product ideas

currently i'm working on a project for some "party community" and i just can't remember my ideas anymore :) ... well here i'm trying to put them on paper.
  1. garbas.cron
    many times i need to give site administrator option to set cron jobs. some plone interface would come in hand here. i'm already preparing specification for this project and should be ready in few days.
  2. garbas.imagetagger
    when having a comunity site its hard to drive people back to your site or to make it more attractive. facebook does it perfect. tagging pictures with users (or sending mails if they are not part of the site). plone implementation is needed here for sure.
  3. garbas.najdi
    well this is more local one. in slovenia we have search engine that also provides maps, just like google map, but better for our area. so this would be the implementation of all their webservices into plone. still need to look a lot into this area.
  4. garbas.sms
    i didn't see any product that would provide some nice interface as well for administrators and users or some nice developer tool to easily implement this functionality into plone. i guess i must make some search for this kind of tools and then to write some abstract about it.
  5. garbas.watermark
    well this is the last in the series of ideas :). i found WatermarkImageField, but its only for plone 2.1. so implementation for plone 3 is needed. code is already prepared for other developers to use it but i would also like to provide a configlet where site admins would have a choice to enable or disable this feature for image fields over any content type.

well this is it. hope i would also get some sponsors for this kind of ideas.
