This document discusses a proposal to gamify open source contributions through a platform called Code Curiosity. It notes that while 99.3% of open source users are consumers, only 0.7% actively contribute. Code Curiosity aims to address this by creating competitions and rewarding contributors with points that can be redeemed for prizes. It would monitor contributions on repositories individuals own or have forked, and provide bonuses for existing popular work. This is meant to encourage more open source participation and quality contributions.
