# Feb 16th 2009, 15:03 alkemann yea need some finess to this rule
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:03 jperras but I guess if we restrict it to needing at least one moderator it should be ok
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:03 jperras so over time, the more authors are added, the easier an article will become to push to the front page
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:02 jperras i.e. no one can 'vote down' an article
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:02 gwoo yeah
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:02 jperras only positive points allowed?
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:01 alkemann well lets say accepted authors have a value of 1, moderators of 5. need a value of 15 and at least 1 moderator
# Feb 16th 2009, 15:00 jperras my only concern is going to be what the threshold for 'higher level' users will be
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:58 gwoo ok
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:58 alkemann no. i asked my coworker to write it. so maybe tomorrow
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:57 gwoo yes
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:57 alkemann with this idea?
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:57 gwoo alkemann: did you update the docs?
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:56 alkemann cool. i think it could work very well
# Feb 16th 2009, 14:10 ADmad alkemann: really liked the idea about article going live for general public after reaching some level of rating from higher level users
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:40 alkemann seems like a logical solution. brb
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:40 alkemann what does it help you that i have a heat pump? that made no sense.. heh
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:40 gwoo and put on a sweater
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:39 gwoo alkemann: move futher away from the heat source
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:39 gwoo nice
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:39 alkemann what do you do when you freeze on your arms and your eyes is going dry from the warm air coming from the heat pump above me?
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:39 jperras gwoo: got it. grazi
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:35 gwoo with the 10,000 things going through
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:35 gwoo especially in my mind
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:35 gwoo yeah
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:35 alkemann meant to and did are very close in the memory bank i beleive
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:34 alkemann lol
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:34 jperras hehe
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:34 gwoo jperras: would be hard for you because it looks like i never sent it
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:34 jperras might have been spam-filtered
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:34 jperras gwoo: I didn't get it
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:33 gwoo jperras: i thought i sent it to you
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:32 alkemann off course ppl may ha different oppinions than the mods
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:32 jperras good point. which is also why I'm waiting to do the ranking algorithms until I get the current ranking data
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:29 alkemann thats paraphrasing a little :)
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:29 alkemann sure, but as gwoo has pointed out about the current version. since u have to log in to rate. we get few ratings, usually by people that care and have a valid oppinion.
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:27 jperras however, if the articles are moderated, I'm guessing the ratings will usually be skewed towards the higher numbers
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:27 alkemann or how ever non hostile you would want to write it if u are nicer than me :p
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:27 jperras alright, I'll try and fit that in
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:26 alkemann jperras: btw, if u plan on doing something with ratings in the mock, it would be cool if it included what the ratings meant.. (ie 1 = This is garbage and shouldnt be here. 3 = This is a decent article. 5 = Best article on the subject, articles covering same topic should be removed)
# Feb 16th 2009, 11:26 jperras cool
