Re: Suggestion about providing more value to Foundation members

I would recommend calling out people in the new quarterly reports, maybe as it's own section, rather than GNOME Journal or the release notes.

For example, we get three people writing in to say the new bugzilla is

the board writes a recommendation on Max/Olav/sys admin team member page
saying "Mike's work on bugzilla was extremely helpful to GNOME users.
Several users wrote into say that they save 30 minutes at a time during
their work day because of the improvements that Mike made. Mike's work
exemplifies the GNOME mission of making computing accessible and easy
for everyone."

It might be cool to have a "Thank You" Wiki on live.gnome.org
where we archive these sorts of recommendations or "thank yous".  Aside
from making our community more friendly and personal, it would have
other benefits too.  This way people who are written up as being great
community members can refer to the GNOME Wiki as a testament of their
work in addition to whatever recommendations they may get on social
networking sites.

Also we should consider putting people who did good work on the release notes on a GNOME release?  I know that on subprojects this occurs but we don't do it on a project level.  I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
