Not very good. The good stimulus is to recive rating shortly after work
is done, and this suggestion makes waiting for revard too long.

I am not sure that I agree, Cyril. It might be a worthwhile trade-off. The more meaningful the rating is, the more incentive it is. 

Yanis, how long of a wait would it be? Considering that computers work quite fast, perhaps it would be only a matter of minutes at most. Psychologically, that would still be a stimulus.

I approve of the titles and the work rewards as well. {stati}, {certi}, and {selsinma} come to mind. Lujvo might be even better, but my lujvo creation is not yet strong, and I'll leave that task to those who are good at it.

In the translation screen, offer a field where the translator can put nonce lujvo that are being invented, along with suggested place structure. A field for the English gloss, a field for x1, x2, etc. Then output a webpage of all nonce lujvo that the jboselkei players have proposed as suggestions for inclusion on jbovlaste and let them make comments for improvement.

Ultimately it would be wonderful for BPFK committee members to be able to search the entire database of jboselkei for usage examples of the cmavo which they are shepherding.
