OSQA offers a start mode where the Karma requirements are set very low for a new site. This makes it a lot easier to get a site started.
While you can do this manually in the settings, it would seem that adding a switch to do this would make it a lot less work.
We'll do it soon. Filed it under http://bugs.askbot.org/issues/99 , could you take a look?
As proposed, the settings (reputation minima, vote limits, and badges) but not others will change only when the "mode" (we need to come up with a better name) is changed.
This change will overwrite certain settings without being able to undo.
The values you picked look realistic. Having not run any real sites yet, that's about all I can say at this point. Hopefully I will have more input once I get a couple of real sites up. Thanks for the change.

I agree with this. What values do you suggest?
maybe in general default/10? with some reasonable exceptions for the smallest numbers.
