Cory Doctorowcoined the term Whuffie, which I have talked about before...it's a term for a loose compilation of reputation, generosity, knowledge and other vapourous things that you can earn by being involved. I earn Whuffie by being involved with UserFriendly, OmniCode, Perl Beginner Yahoo group, and a few other things.

I figure another way to earn Whuffie is to reward people for their efforts (which also earn Whuffie). So today I sent some cash over to Noah Grey, who developed this Greymatter blogging system. That's the right thing to do!
