Hi all

Re weights for scores, not sure how to do it though I guess this should be debated with the reviewers - as they will be involved in the work - when they join the project?

Hi all!

numbers at all.

Well, the way I understand it each of the categories (logic, 
originality etc) would be "graded" -1 to [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] and the average of 
this results in a score.

But how is the average computed? Just an arithmetic average 
where [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED]
for logic [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] for originality [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] for language result in a score of
+3.5? Hardly IMHO. What we would need are weights for the 
values. For
example:

W[logic]        = 1.5
W[originality]  = 2.0
W[language]     = 0.5

This would result in


logic:           [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] = [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] * 1.5
originality:     [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] = [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED] * 2.0
language:        +2.5 = +5 
* 0.5
                 ----        ---

Score:           [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED]   /    4.0 = [PHONE NUMBER REMOVED]

A score of 1.5 would be much closer to what a reader expects - don't
you think?

A further development could give logged-in users a chance to have
their own set of weights for the categories.

BTW: I just stumbled over the Plone product Critic_. At the minimum
this could be basis for a solution for us.
