I was reading this thread with interest. I did not want to post beforehand because my opinion might have influenced others, especially re: the logistics of tracking such awards.
I would like to give out some sort of award to a person who excels academically whilst helping others on the site. I think, by example, the person who would have won it in 2007 would have been Ahmad. I'll keep this in mind, and I do think it's a great idea. My thoughts so far, have been along the lines of money towards uni fees. Of course, this won't be feasible at *least* until 2010 (in terms of revenue growth required to finance such a thing). But for this year, I'd like to think of something that can be done to honour a particularly helpful and successful member.
