That sounds great. That way we could value those MOTUs for their contribution and encourage other MOTU to get listed on this page through their contributions too. This list of "most valuable MOTUs" shouldn't be limited in size and list everyone who qualified in that cycle (the more valuable MOTUs we have the better). > > [MOTU meetings] > I'm not tempted to lead MOTU Metings if there's not consensus it's > the right way to proceed, because I think partial or unbalanced > involvement will lead to either alienation or a sense of "iniders" and > "outsiders". I think MOTU Meetings are a right way but I currently have a hard time thinking of good (regular) topics to make them work in the long run (but perhaps others have good ideas). If my memory serves me right, the MOTU meetings died of no topics and with no topics the attendees stayed away. > My feeing from a quick scan of relevant sources is that we're in > the 20-30 range for some elvel of activity (highly variable).

That number is sufficient for me. As that helps to estimate how much activity can be expected and also what kind of goverance structure would be suitable for MOTU.
