Maybe we should have a semi-mandatory 'tip tip'.

I mean, what's a tip jar for, but people who have tips? Such as great suggestions for Our Fearless Leader and other developers? I suggest a $5 donation per idea (adjusted for personal circumstance).. And if you've voted a ++ and you think an idea is worth implementing, drop a fiver into the offering plate.

That is sufficient for a few beers while those in charge mull things over.

This would be a purely symbolic gesture of respect, being aware of the fact that we appreciate the work, and are willing to help out in any way possible.

Update:I realize that many of us are in school or otherwise poor; the idea is a symbolic gesture, not the money involved. I just took a look at perlmonk's paypal stats; in the last 6 months, there have only been contributions by 50 or so monks. How about if we get that number closer to the number of active community members?

Update2:Since I've been asked- you can find out from payPal what a payee's 'community rating' is; that corresponds to the number of people who have given money to the payee.
