I think it's a good idea, but still there should be a firm barrier |
| 26 |
from what goes in to "official" distribution and what is |
| 27 |
in the middle zone. This rating could apply to both but I |
| 28 |
think its only really useful in the middle zone (purgatory). |

What kind of interface for voting do you have in mind ? |
| 31 |
(how to vote + how to read the rate. integrate with emerge ... ?) |
