Founding 1000 benefit suggestions
From ORG Wiki
Now that we're closing in on our 1000th paying Supporter, we need to decide what benefits to provide our Founding 1000. Limited resources mean we can't provide physical goodies (like, say, a T-Shirt or pen), and besides it maybe more fitting to offer intangible, digital trinkets. Perhaps we could have a 'hall of fame' page (with anonymous options for those with privacy concerns) on the ORG site? Perhaps we could do another round of kites / badges? I think its best we offer a range of benefits that the Founding 1000 can pick and choose from ... so we need your ideas please. Either post to the list or to this page on the wiki.
Most respondents felt ORG's finances are best directed to campaigning, not to supplying branded gifts to its supporters. Their payments are not made in expectation of an 'unspecified shiny thing but make a difference'. That said, the following (serious) suggestions emerged:
- Exclusive (F1000-branded?) purchases from ORG merch range
- Entry on a web-page: Each F1000 gets a login to a personal editable bio page on the ORG website. They can upload a picture and a 250 word bio. On one of the main pages of the ORG website, a small section reads "ORG honours Founding Subscriber xxx: this picture and the bio, randomly chosen, along with whatever other info they want to publicise. For those who choose not to upload their details and picture, the default option is a "generic shadow image" and the text something like: ORG honours Founding Subscriber xxx who chooses to remain anonymous, one of the fundamental rights that ORG promotes.
- RSS-feeds aggregator on the site, featuring a random (?) feed from F1000 blogs
- Exclusive F1000 badge / kite for website
