I actually agree with this. But FishCat should have some very clear ways to
score.
For a 'bug'
1) You need to search for duplicates
2) You need to post a message on the GlassFish users mailing list saying you
searched for dups : 2 Stickers
3) Someone else needs to comment : 2 Stickers
4) When someone does not have a clear answer you can log the issue
5) The issue must have clear steps to reproduce and question was asked on
GlassFish users mailing list : 2 Stickers
So someone who just logs an issue gets 2 Stickers
So someone who goes though the process gets 6 Stickers
This is just an idea to show how Stickers can be earned.

lol, I am thinking this is not a bad idea.
If we can't reward with anything tangible (like money) besides the other
benefits obviously, let's call it what it is and maybe add some humor in
it.Being apart of FishCAT should be fun and not always serious all the time.
Developers usually have a _strange_ sense of humor; let's attract them that
way.
Being serious all the time is for .NET people ;-) Do you think we will be
sued for that slogan ?
Every FishCAT member should start with a clear slate every few months, so
you can compete with the other FishCATs in the class for stickers.
regards
Richard.
