User blog comment:LostInRiverview/New Contest - and ideas for new feature/@comment-1432401-20100617152931

I'm 50/50 on this. I see the "AMAGAWD I r not feeturd diz month againz!" drama already. How is different from the featured users already in the menu?

People coming here looking for info won't really be very interested in something like this, this is solely for contributors (and only the creme de la creme) so keeping it off the front page might be an idea. It's not like people click the featured contributor and go: "Oh, he/she added that moodlet text", it works better on custom content sites where featured creaters have some bling bling to show off.

I'm not against this, who knows, it might inspire people to contribute more or more people to contribute. Just make sure total contributions aren't much of a factor, that will promote poor articles and silly edits.

tl;dr I suggest not putting it on the front page and making sure it's not about the amount of contributions.
