Convertible karma: is it me the only one thinking that the last we need in our community is more mercantilism? If karma is useful to get the right to own a shirt then I don't want karma at all. Sounds like accumulating flight miles for some fidelity program!

Thanks everywhere: nice idea but depending how requires a lot of work for implementation (e.g. Thanks button under Bugzilla comments). If you are talking about thanks button directly under user profile then it's simpler (stil: can thank a user more than once? etc).
I also think that the appreciation for ones work is a reward enough. It not only promotes the right behaviour but also the right people.

That way people who think Talk is important will concentrate more on Talk ranks, and people who think owning projects is more important will concentrate on that ranking.

You for example have 170 Posts but have been Thanked 351 times for them.
I have 393 Posts and have been Thanked 214 times for them.
Obviously you've been more helpful to the community than me.
If we only look at post count, it'll promote more spam than useful behaviour.

The difference is where the member is coming from...
A user/community member vs. a user/developer. If it is the former then karma is just that... a frequent flyer program and is a function of sales.
If it is the later than karma is a tool that can be used to determine the relative value of contributions and is a function of R & D.
As I posted in yet another karma thread, perhaps it is time to seperate the two... karma and Meearma???

A user/community member can have valuable contributions as well.

To be successful a project needs a lot more than just hackers and bug reporters (though obviously without those two the project wouldn't exist in the first place)
