Encouraging folks to contribute to Drupal

There are lots of ways to contribute, but one of the goals of gamification of Drupal.org would be to find ways to help fund projects that are important to our community.

I wrote a reasonably long blog post about gittip recently:

But ultimately if we get to feature folks or reward folks for giving, more people will give.

Right now there is no real incentive to use Gittip other than that it kinda feels like the right thing to do. It would be nice if individuals and organiations were promoted for doing the right thing.
