Communities to Receive Points

Title:
Communities to Receive Points

Area:
Accounts

Summary:
Communities currently cannot receive points. I suggest allowing them to do so.

Description:
Currently, communities don't have the ability to receive points from users. I suggest that we change this. Instead of allowing users to only buy time for communities, it would be awesome if we could transfer points now that we have the points system.

Examples of ways it could be useful:
-Two people want to share the cost of a month's membership. Each person transfers 15 points.
-The community is holding a contest. People give 5 points to participate. Community now has points for prizes.
-You love a post made by a community. You want to give points as kudos. You can transfer as many points as you feel is appropriate.

I'm visualizing a grid of checkboxen, and the axes of it may be flopped, so one could either easily do the "check all powers for this one person" or do the "give all people these powers".

Powers come pre-populated. (Bundles? hmm.) Grid would be silly if all members of comm were on it; there would be a thing to add them (checkboxen in membership roster + text-entry on manage page?) and then grid happy funtimes ensues. On checking, square on the grid holding checkbox highlights, so one can see more easily if there are any breaks (you have no-one holding one particular thing, or a person lacking a specific power).
