Rewards for significant documentation contribution

I am in no position of power (obviously) but....I think it would be cool if GarageGames did something similiar to what Blender.org is doing. That is, offering rewards to those who contribute significant amounts of documentation. It would nice to see TDN blossom :)

Give away Constructor or anything. It would be a lot more inexpensive than having an employee do it. Blender is giving away 500 Euros. Thats nearly $650 US. I don't think a content pack is giving away all that much.

Many of the TGB bounties offered do exactly this: offer cash rewards for specific documentation contributions.

The reason is kinda very individual for me, though- GG payment system has problems with recognizing my CC (quite possible because its issued by East European bank, I dunno) so, when buying stuff, I have to ask help of friendlies from "more western" countries and then do a money transfer to their account. Chore :|
But I guess the current bounty system works well for most people. And hey, its cool :)

I actually wouldnt mind cashing in my art bounty not in cash but as Constructor license, for example (not that my current bounty would cover the full cost of Constructor right now, though).The reason is kinda very individual for me, though- GG payment system has problems with recognizing my CC (quite possible because its issued by East European bank, I dunno) so, when buying stuff, I have to ask help of friendlies from "more western" countries and then do a money transfer to their account.

GG aren't likely to give away Torque lisences or content packs.
