What's your idea?

Currently we recognize only the contributions we can count automatically - code commits, documentation edits. We want to encourage and recognize other types of contributions as well. Idea is to implement reputation system which will allow people to add reputation points to other users via widgets on comments in issue queues, forums, doc pages, g.d.o posts, etc.
