My First Rule of Collaboration is that if you can’t afford to pay your collaborators you need to at least feed them. But, I can’t afford to do that either. And, since I want to collaborate online for fun. I had to find a way to keep my number one rule in play in spite of my shortcomings. This is what I came up with. I can’t say for certain if the points are fair in every case. But, it seemed like a good starting point for people to compare their input to that of everyone else or just say, “Hey, look at me. I did that!”. And hey maybe my Inter-Fi Project or yours will be bigger than Elvis. One can always dream. One always should be a dreamer and be proud of themselves while doing it.
Some contributions point valuations are compounding with element or presentation method. Without further ado this is the point system I came up with.
SHOUT OUTS and BYLINE CREDITS

CREDITS ON THE CREDITS PAGE
- Title: Contributors are listed by title Title earned.

- Points: Points should signify the significance of each contribution and reflect the effort put into each project. Due to the subjective nature of point valuation points cannot imply that one’s number of points increases or lessens the value of any one contribution.
- Contributions: A tally of contributions. Title Credits depend on submissions. The number of submissions bears no reflection on points.
- Breakdown of Contributions by Type: A simplified indication of credited work without listing every single contribution.
