This month's total awards payout is US$3,010 - an 11% increase over last month. The number of recipients - the 2 percent of landowners earning the most dwell - increased to 45. The top dwell-getters split the money in proportion to the dwell they received during the last month.
Group members who contribute land allocations get credit towards these awards in proportion to the amount of land allocation they’ve contributed. The daily $L that results from dwell on group land is paid to all group members equally.
We're discussing the possibility of improving or replacing these awards since it's an incomplete way to recognize contributions to Second Life. If so, we'll make sure we give you plenty of notice and a chance to discuss alternative plans. Those of you who count on them as a way to fund ongoing efforts will have enough time to make other plans. Traffic awards (dwell paid in L$) will continue to be paid nightly, recognizing the value of popular places and well-attended events in SL.
You can join the discussion of one alternative under consideration - the Incubator Program - posted here.
