Ho!
I really like Jonas' idea of awards! And IMO it'd be fitting if that kind of thing would be internal to Haiku Inc.
Maybe a way to help assess potential award worthy material is by nominating commits by forwarding the svn-commit-message (only header with the list of modified files and the log, mind you!) to an especially created email account (like nomination@xxxxxxxxxxxx). Perhaps with a short explanation why you think it's just so great. These nominations shouldn't be considered a poll, but more as a little inspiration for the judges.
It's often not a single commit that should get rewarded, but general work on the OS. Although, the first recipient is fairly clear from r21672.
The mysterious "axeld+bonefish" (the result of some genetic experiment in a basement somewhere in Germany, I suspect) has been bashing away on the VM and claimed in that commit log that "The Haiku kernel seems now to run shockingly stable. ATM, we have more than two hours uptime of a system booted and running over network. We didn't manage to get it down by fully building Pe, downloading, unzipping, and playing with various stuff."
The use of "we" is also interesting, suggesting the genetic mutant suffers from some sort of schizophrenia - which should be reason enough for a charity handout even if you don't think the code alone is sufficient to warrant reward.
Oh and sorry Charlie, around 250 bytes of this message have no purpose other than humour :)
Joking apart, great work guy(s). I'm still planning on starting the activity update posts for the website...honest. Now I've graduated from uni and am back at home for the summer life should settle down enough for me to get into a routine with it. Fingers crossed.
