I think I am going to start a degree-granting "University." I will give credit for life accomplishments, but my standards will be especially narrow and contrived. I will give credit for:
- Commits to open source projects
- Answers on Stack Overflow
- Karma on Hacker News
I will also require students to write essays, however I will permit the student to submit blog posts as essays. I will use PageRank or upvotes by Hacker News to determine the letter grade awarded for the "essay."
