[Phpwiki-talk] wikiscore & related pages

[Arno H. <aho...@in...>]

I think we should rethink the wikiscore table.

While the used metric may be quite useful in a web-like environment, within 
a wiki it is questionable. The problem is that people usually sign their 
contributions with their WikiName, and thus user's wiki-homepages get a 
very high wikiscore. And generally speaking homepages are not that 
important. So the wikiscore metric fails.

For more info see MeatballWiki 
http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?IndexingScheme
and look at MostReferencedPages / MostLinkedPages / ShortestPathPages 

ShortestPath seems to be most interesting but too expensive to compute.
(unless someone comes up with a good incremental algorithm)

Thus I suggest we change the following for 1.2.0:
* drop wikiscore table
* related pages are reduced to incoming/outgoing links which are sorted by
  hitcount.

Btw, some people find the terms "incoming/outgoing links" confusing. Is 
there a better way to describe these?
