Well, how about this - new users can get an exponent that has been 
abandoned several times, but they must check in at least once a month to 
report the percentage done and expected completion date to show that they 
are making reasonable progress. It could even be automatic.  Or maybe check 
in at 1 month, 2 months after that, and then every three months?  Or is 
that too elitist too?
