Quoting Kathy Lussier <klussier at masslnc.org>:

> Hi all,
>
> Several of us at the conference have been discussing the idea of  
> resetting karma in the #evergreen channel at the end of each annual  
> conference. From what I understand, this is something that is done  
> in the code4lib community and allows everyone to start with a clean  
> slate each year after the conference.
>
> I like this idea because I think it provides it's a better motivator  
> for new contributors to the community. As it is now, if somebody is  
> just starting out and is making a lot of contributions that result  
> in positive karma, it will take years before they catch up to the  
> karma levels of those of us who have been around for a while. By  
> resetting the karma points, anyone's given karma level will reflect  
> the work they are doing now, not the work they did years ago.
>
> I would like to suggest that we reset the karma points in the  
> #evergreen channel by the end of next week (to give adequate time  
> for any dissension). For future conferences, I would like to suggest  
> that the karma points are reset on the Monday after the conference  
> ends.
>
> Let me know what you think!
