1. An apparatus for rewarding collaborative creation, comprising and characterized by:
- a task manager including a dispatcher for accepting hierarchical task definitions;
a tasks database for storing said hierarchically defined tasks, said dispatcher in communication with said tasks data base;
a weighting measurer module for accepting weight types of said hierarchically defined tasks, said weighting measurer module in communication with said dispatcher;
said dispatcher for dispatching said hierarchically defined tasks to collaborators;
a production data base for storing results of said collaborators efforts to perform said hierarchically defined tasks, said dispatcher in communication with said production data base;
said weighting measurer module for accepting assignments of weights for each of said hierarchically defined tasks according to the type of weight for each task;
said weighting measurer module coordinating with said dispatcher to measure and record credits to be awarded to collaborators as each hierarchically defined task is completed, said credits awarded to each collaborator are stored in a credits data base; and
a generator module generates a personal rewards weighted list scoreboard for said collaborators to receive their rewards.
