Still have to recruit people and make rules so they can't drop their part of the project cause that would suck.
I guess there's something that could
maybe help (though by no means guarantee).
My idea is kind of a
rep system (hold on, let me finish first!
)
based on deadlines!
This is how it would work:
1. Only one person attributes rep "votes": the project leader (hence, NO rep wars
)
2. Each task attributed to anyone states two "orders":
What do do and
when to deliver it.
3. The vote is attibuted on two criteria:
deadline and
achievement.
4. Each single rating is done like so (options NOT cumulative!):
A. The job was done as expected (achieved): +2 points.
The job was delivered til the end of the deadline: +3 points.
Note:If the job was achieved on time, its author would then receive
+5 points.
B. The job was done
better than expected: +3
The job was delievered
before the deadline (say at least two days earlier): +4
Note:Both of these would give the author the maximum possible score for a single job:
+7 points.
C. The job was done but
did not reach the expectations (expected quality, specs,...): +1 point.
The job was done but was delievered
little after the deadline (say up to seven days later): +2 points.
D. The job was delievered over a week later: +1 point.
E. The job was never done:
-1 point.
Note:This would be the only negative point awarding and would ensure someone doesn't signup to do something and never delievering 'cause it won't hurt her/him anyway. I guess you could also atribute a null rating (0) to delievering after a week (and all the other deadline points could drop a point in the scale) but I believe, in this particular context of non-paid mod work, it is more productive to reward positively even late turnups...
5. The actual reputation of any contributor would be the sum of all the points (s)he ever got
by the "total" points he could have reached per job (but this would be
5 NOT 7 as 5 means you did what you should by the time you should. 6 or 7 is
overachieving, which would actually look great on your rep (e.g. "12/10" for two jobs
)
6. Each contributor's reputation would be posted and updated in the
first post of the concerning topic. This would have the following advantages:
- Your rep is always up there.
- The project leader (
assuming he himself updates the rep status on time ) could easily, at any given time, look at the rep status and determine to whom atribute any given new job (assuming there was more than one candidate).
- As a side benefit, you'd also be keeping the list of contributors to the project (anyone with a rep of at least 1) updated!
BTW,
I do NOT want to be in the GLADE team (or any other). Once I finish the Dwarves, I'll be getting back to enjoying my free time in other ways (namely catching up with my sleep
) for a long good while...
