Hi David,

I had two ratings based in mind -- sorry for not making this clearer.

Users who upload traces should be "rated" to receive karma/popularity
points/whatever, Slashdot-style.

I think traces should have ratings associated with them, independent
of who uploaded them, so I could look for:

1.  Most downloaded trace
2.  Most commented-upon trace
3.  A general "interesting"? (hot or not?) type rating?

If anyone can improve my thinking on this, please do.

I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a user who visits
OpenPacket.org, perhaps not knowing what to look at or where to begin.
 Those three ratings might point n00bs to the most interesting traces.

Thank you,

Richard
