I think that gamification would be something that could really improve GitQ. Marking users as "moderators" or "developers" would both reward those tied to an organisation/project and also show other posters/users who is part of the team, helping answers or discussions be resolved quicker or making the thread more interactive. Also, adding points as a reward to posters (the points would be community based) could also drive communication in the threads.
Is there any chance of APIs for custom integration being made available for when the react version comes out and the project is open-sourced?
