At Skejo.com, the key idea is that rewarding people for their contributions, will stimulate more participation and better submissions. So we built a site that makes finding helpful articles fast, and submitting content easy, coupled with a rewards system that goes beyond what has been seem before.
We decided to find the middle ground between the volunteer, anonymous submission of Wikipedia, and the ‘pay-the-few’ way of About.com. We believe that all our members and visitors should be recognized for their contributions, large and small, and even reward them for taking the time to give to the community.
Our Rewards System gives incentive to our members to contribute regularly, and is open to all who contribute quality, needed articles. Credit is given to the authors, and above that, they are rewarded for it (not like professional writer’s, but we do spread it around to more people).
Skejo.com is a complex Drupal site sporting over 75 core and contributed modules, a customized theme, along with a few custom modules and changes to the core. We started with the Andreas1 theme as a foundation and then made many layout changes, as well as the header functionality.
