Although I favor karma, and have quite a bit accumulated, I'm not in favor of bringing it over in toto to the new playground. That winds up being unfair to Moblin folks.

On the other hand it isn't exactly fair for people who have built up karma to see it go with no compensation (personally I don't mind starting over though; it will motivate me to work harder).

I think an equitable solution would be to erase current karma values but "seed" transferred Moblin and Maemo accounts with a one-time gift. Base it on time of organization membership-- say, 1 karma point for every 10 days with an active maemo.org or Moblin account or somesuch.

I do grant the stickiness of that suggestion though.
