They've revamped their point system! It seems that AppNotes are a little more confusing. The AppNote page. At the top:
AppNotes include technical information about designing, implementing, administering, and programming for computer systems based on Novell products. Cool Solutions awards Novell rewards points (up to 500 points) for each AppNote published, depending on content.Which is nice. The rewards are worth real things. Tips used to be worth a T-Shirt in the olden days (I have one). These days, a T-Shirt is worth 75 points, and they have a scale up to 20,000 points for a cruise. No one has gotten the cruise yet. But later on down the AppNote page:
5. Article published, $100 awarded.So actual cash-like substance. Interesting. I wonder which it is?
The AppNote will be published in HTML and PDF and advertised on the magazine's home page and in the community's "What's New" newsletter, as well as added to the AppNotes by Date and AppNotes by Title pages. An e-mail gift certificate for $100 will be forwarded to the author from either Amazon.com or Globogift.
