On the monotone project, we occasionally ran a "bug squashing contest".
Someone would put up money for a small prize (usually monotone logo hats
or shirts), and whoever squashed the most bugs in a 24 hr period gets
the prize. It worked pretty well as a motivator; sometimes people only
need a little push to do the right thing.
We might want to occaisionally change the "win" metric to "most urgent
bugs" or something, otherwise only minor bugs get fixed.
