I think this could be interesting. I don't think a referal should earn much rep (5-15?). I think it should only be awarded after the refered person has actually acquired some reputation on the site (150+). You would want to be sure the new users are actually going to contribute to the system, or else this would be be use to abuse the rep system.

Exactly. It is awarded after the referenced user becomes a relevant user, contributing on the community. I can't provide the exact implementation (how much reputation earned and such), but I think it could be studied as an alternative to increase the user base.
