How about a system where if you contribute a new full language pack (Ajax, Lite, Admin, etc) or after writing and contributing X Zimlets or submitting patches to X open bugs, etc your rewarded in Network users. Basically some sort of elite community level that would show your support and dedication to Zimbra in return it would grant you access to some small number of Network users. Other ideas or contributions that would fall into a category like this? Is this something that seems reasonable? |
Kevin, this is a brilliant idea. Absolutely. As a long time Zimbra community member, I love this idea, because it encourages the idea that Open Source software isn't free - you need to push in if you want to get out. Italso is a great idea because it will help small enthusiasts like me to actually support the install that I have already.
