This is one of the greatest initiatives I saw in the recent past. Most of the newcomers face difficulties in getting good votes and recognition at the start. That makes them discouraged. And also we have seen reward abuse through the achievement program. A dedicated team will surely resolve this problem.

As I know, there is a database of the newcomers and their achievements. So, regularly updating that list (may be a seperate one with the users up to three months), will help the team to easily track the users...

Wishing this initiative, nothing but complete success!!
