Hmm, weird idea but atm quite difficult to implement so I´d guess the best way to gain some recognition around the board is helping everybody out, go for the competitions and such.

However IMHO I´d prefer you guys get your hands dirty on Maya instead of trying to look for karma? ... If you spend some time in Maya, and then come back here answering more questions you´ll surely get the recognition you deserve.

My 2 cents ...
