But essentially we are thinking I would produce, with assistance I would presume/hope, a monthly participation report at the institution/vendor level, not at the individual level. I think this is an idea worth trying, though it might take a bit of effort to get it off the ground. I think we would want to get some metrics, but at the same time the team acknowledges the limitations of metrics, they can be misleading. If we did something like this, I would run a prototype of the report by TCC before publishing anywhere else. What do you think?

I think the idea was that individuals are probably already motivated
or they would not do the stuff in the first place. However, managers
and people with money (who would never appear on a list of
individuals) will be motivated by having their institutions listed as
contributors in a visible way. Hopefully this would lead to them
allowing their staff more time to work on Sakai or perhaps even
allowing or encouraging staff to spend time on community efforts.

This would also avoid a situation where someone has 10 people spend an
hour a week on Sakai and totally dominate the list compared to a group
which has 1 person spending 30+ hours a week on Sakai and being
marginalized.
