Really agree with what you say that this is going to be a lot of work for you and that you just do it thinking on provinding back to the community.
When I was speaking about incentives I was more thinking on that if it is done creating interesting content in hive, it may generate some attention and contributors will see how they get rewarded.
It is a big decision because once you start it is going to be a lot of work and it would be a shame if the effort is wasted
I agree with everything that you wrote.
We have handles on incentives that could serve as extra bits to motivate people to participate, as well as an extra way to generate attention both from inside the Hive community and from outside it.
I will continue thinking about it and will make my decision over the week-end. Or maybe, I will just continue thinking for another week. Let's see. I am still very undecided, as can be guessed, although the "no no" is now mostly a "maybe" thanks to the positive feedback I got in the comments to this blog. ;)
