This isn't really about the slashcode software but more about how I might do something on my main slash site. Many of my users do things for our online community which aren't directly done on the slash site eg - a bit of publicity, or emailing me a review, or giving us books, or giving us an interview, and so on. Since I don't pay for reviews I have in my head a kind of points system instead. Eg person W gives me lots of reviews and therefore "wins" first pick of review books as they come in. Now this worked fine whilst there was just a few people in the community but I am happy to say that I have loads of people saying they are doing tasks needed by the site. Maybe I'll add in some capability to vote on articles in which case a favourable vote might also give the author some points. I am wondering whether people have experience of some kind of points system which they might have used in conjunction with a slash site (or similar). I remember hearing about the advogadro system for rating open source authors - but I can't seem to find it now even with google searches. I'm not afraid of writing perl cgi scripts but am a bit confused as to what is involved in writing a slash plugin. I could perhaps create a new table for these points and an admin interface so that I can "award points". (PS I can't pretend I have much spare time though :-( Any pointers folks? Would this be useful to you?
