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. -- -- Stephe
