What's interesting is the ratio between the income and the amount requested, not any of both absolute numbers. What I envision is a list ordered by "days of work needed to produce the money I request". But I fully realise it's quite intrusive; I tend to think the fairness introduced compensates that though. > >> 4) Using references > > > > IMHO this brings a substantial risk of tightening the tight set, but it's > > probably worth trying if we don't put too much weight on it. > > I'm not sure what you mean here.

That's it yes: it can be hard to enter the well-connected set of people: I'm afraid that this would favor new people in established communities (say, a member of the Swiss cabal) over new people in unknown communities (say, an african DD…); the first would probably have less problems finding references than the latter, yet this wouldn't mean he's "worth" more to have at DebConf.
