supporting awesome wiki projects,1000ψ at a time.

This is an idea for small simple community awards to recognize great work and great ideas for wiki tools and projects. Riffing off the spirit of the Awesome Foundation, this is a compact table of awesome projects and ideas, with lightweight indicators of support for their awesomeness, awards / support they have received, and links to their best current realization or description.

Technical projects, design projects and ideas, and structural ideas (like the technical wishlist itself) are all welcome. Generators -- sources of ideas, and how to identify or extract them -- are also welcome, and may give rise to future individual projects.

Submission Selection
  • people submit awesome projects or proposals (their own or links to others)
  • every cycle one or more is chosen to receive awe no strings attached
  • projects can translate awe into support from those offering their help
  • results tracked online: projects by hashtag, network on a running changelog / collage board
  
  • anyone who wants to help support awesome knowledge projects joins in to update the project tables (nominate or vote on projects) or offer wiki services (coding, scripting, design, visibility, testing, feedback, translation, &c)
  • each cycle a number of tickets to a selection event are available for claiming
  • the first 10 people to claim them get to review/select the next project for support

Starting with a single global group, reviewing projects from anywhere and everywhere.

One way to reify awe: use wikis (ψ) as tokens, give all editors 100 to start. Tickets are 100, and the resulting 1k goes to the selected projects (or associate accounts). Start with a monthly cycle, expand to match interest.
