## TL;DR

This paper proposes a theoretical algorithm for fairly allocating points to contributors in collaborative communities, considering the significance of their content changes, with a focus on fairness and system interaction.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel algorithm with a theoretical proof for fair point allocation based on contribution significance in collaborative editing systems.

## Key findings

- Algorithm with proven fairness properties
- Addresses the challenge of quantifying content contribution
- Provides a theoretical framework for equitable point distribution

## Abstract

In this paper we are trying to determine a scheme for the fair allocation of points to the contributors of the collaborative community. The major problem of fair allocation of points among the contributors is that we have to analyze the improvement in the versions of an article. Lets say there is a contribution of major change in content which is relevant vs the contribution of adding a single comma. Every contributor cannot be given the same points in such a case. There are many ways which can be used like number of changes in a new version. That might seem relevant but it becomes irrelevant in terms of correct content contribution and other significant changes. There is no AI system too which can detect such a change and award the points accordingly. So this problem of allocation of points to the contributors is presented by an algorithm with a theoretical proof. It relies on the interactive interaction of the users in the system which is trivial in case of big system design economies.
