I don't think that a Hall Of Fame (which is good if you are a company and want to build a community) will attract more developers.
Based on what? My experience points in the exact opposite direction.
On the other hand I could imagine that a raffle on all bug packs bug fixers could encourage people to choose bug packs and fix the bugs. Sponsors could be Zend, Maguma, book publishers etc. But I'm not sure if this would have a leverage effect and encourage more people to fix bugs than today.
If you want to pay for people fixing bugs, fine, but what I suggested is way more efficient and does not cost any money to anybody.
Anyway, my suggestion was to provide an energetic solution for a problem
I don't see where the energy is by installing a HOF. Do you see the energy?
That is because you have never measured the effects of an initiative like this in action. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos
