Hi,
I suggest that those who will handle all this keep in mind that the
community doesn't need a new source of arguement anymore. I think
introducing a competition and a jury might rekindle some old debates...
I'm not saying that this award stuff shouldn't happen but i think it has to
be handle with extra care because of serious possible drawbacks.
Besides, it seems like it's adding a lot of bureaucracy and the time spent
in this could be spent on some more important matters perhaps...
Just my 2cents though...

Regards,
   Seb
