sb_core is our designation for the core developers, the people building and hacking on the Songbird player/platform code itself. Since Songbird is GPL'd, we have a quite a few developers pulling from Subversion, hacking on the code, getting code review and making patches. We wanted to recognise these guys for all their hard work and dedication to making Songbird a better player, so we've created the sb_core program.
If you're new to Songbird core development, you can read our Getting Started Guide for a quick intro on how to get started with pulling the source, building it, and making patches. And fear not - we've gone through and flagged a whole bunch of good starter bugs for people to ease their way into Songbird development.
It's pretty simple. If you look at bugs in our Bugzilla, you'll see every bug has a cost associated with it. For every bug you fix, you accumulate points. Because we're geeks, we're going by a power of 2 scale, so if a bug is cost 0, you'll get 20=1 point. If a bug is cost 3, you'll get 8 points (23=8).
The easiest rule of the program is that every developer who fixes at least 1 point gets:
Beyond that, we'll also be giving away stuff to our most productive contributors. We'll be doing this two ways:
If you're fixing bugs, implementing features, and making patches - then you're already participating.

The scores are taken from bugs which have both the "3rdppatch" (third party patch attached) and "fixed-external" (patches from this bug were committed to the Subversion repo) keywords.
If you think you have a bug that isn't being reflected in the table above, please let stevel know and he can correct it.
