Subject: Dog Bones
Content: Spec suggested that we have something like "dog bones" that you can send each other. I'm not sure exactly how you'd like this to work, so does everyone want to make some suggestions on how it could go? Not sure whether I will build it, or get someone else to yet. If I build it, I'd try to reuse as much as I can - eg basing it on the crush system, where it will send an email saying you have sent them a bone, but you don't have to guess who sent it. I assume this would be all free - you don't have to buy bones with real money. So some of the questions I have about how you'd like it to work: a. Do you want it to send a mail message, telling them they have received a bone? b. Do you want it to be an anonymous message saying you have received a bone, but not who it came from, or do you want to name the sender? c. Shall we only send one bone at a time? d. Can you only send one bone per person - ie you can't send one bone to fred this month, and another bone to fred next month? e. Should I limit the number of bones you can send each day? eg 5 per day. f. Do you want it to display the number of bones you have received on your profile page? g. Do we reset the number of bones each month, or do you want two figures - one for the total number of bones ever received, and one total for the number of bones received this month? h. I guess we should feature the dog of the month that receives the most bones last month. i. Should it use up activity points to send a bone, or add to activity points when you send a bone? Any other ideas?
