FLOSS is already keeping score.

Gamify stuff people don’t like to do.

Gamify stuff you want people to do.

Gamify cooperation and community.

Do reward quality activity.

Don’t reward activity only.

Do recognize everyone’s contributions.

Don’t recognize top contributors only.

Do reward recent efforts.

Don’t reward all-time effort.

Do offer diverse challenges and rewards.

Don’t value just code commits.
