I implemented a "5-star" system for Musi-Cal back in the day. Now,
admittedly, rating musicians is a bit different than rating software, but
you would probably be surprised at how much offense one musician can take
when they discover that some other musician got a 4.7 rating and they only
got a 4.2. :rolleyes:
It did take some effort to reduce the chance that the system would be
subverted. Similar to a free software site such as PyPI (and unlike a
for-profit system such as the iTunes App Store), I think almost all people
realized that the rating system was there to help the community and that by
polluting the database they only hurt themselves.
