I just checked and looks like I should be entitled to be in the Bitcoin dev list as I'm actively developping pywallet again for more than 2 months. I'm not sure I'd receive anything from that though with all the writing shares.
That's not a problem though as it's Unthinkingbit's coin and it's normal he chooses the priority. But whatever the priority is (writing/developping/other), I'd just like it to be stated clearly
Hey jackjack, I'm in charge of adding people to the developer share lists. Here are some general guidelines on whether or not you would be eligible:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin#developerThe best way to see if you qualify to be on the list is to PM me or post a link to the project thread. If you have 10 posts a month from users, then the project is definitely popular enough to be included. My instinct is that pywallet will qualify easily. I know I've used it in the last month, and I'm guessing so have several others in this thread.
I've no aggression to the writers, but just want to make our community to notice this thing, is devtome more important than open source developers? I'd suggest some way, e.g. to limit the shares on devtome not exceed the half of whole shares, or as others said, use read times or vote links, instead of just words to distribute shares. just some random thoughts, not thinking very carefully, and forgive my english for I'm not native speaker.
I agree 100%. Unthinkingbit and other administrators: is there a way we can make some decision on this?
I think pageviews are the best solution. It's good enough for advertisers to pay big money for page views so why not devtome. That way if an article is not popular there will be little pay so people will be forced to write better quality or quit.
This sounds fair enough where having someone judge each article won't be fair as writing is subjective. Let the masses decide what's good and popular and pay out accordingly.
