to what end?
i'm not aware of any use of karma except for qualifying for voting (10) or for election (100).

or do you want to exacerbate the meritocracy BS?
e.g. only those who have contributed enough code bug reports or whatever will get points?
in which case i guess ppl like me (or Gerbick?) who posted a lot but didn't do much coding are in big trouble...

not sure whether this karma stuff is that important...
why weren't the N9(50) community rewards allocated according to it, then?

in the end, what matters is that there are members who are interested in Maemo / MeeGo devices.
why do you have to go thru this middle-age BS of having to be "aristocratic" / "have karma" to be able to participate?
or early modern times where one had to have a fortune to be able to have a say...

why are you even bothering with elections then?

candidates, apply!
5 / 10 highest karmas are "elected"
saves a lot of trouble, no?
