reputation idea

[Joe Ross]

I do like Greg's idea, probably because I've thought about it before.

I disagree with Cory's assertion that everyone on the first page deserves to be there for technical knowledge. There are a lot of good people, but there are a lot of people who do not contribute technically at all, and many others that do a little, but get most of their points from being funny. I'm one of the latter category.

I agree that most of the people on that list are the best known, but by no means are they the most helpful or knowledgeable, technically.

In many way it works similar to slashdot. It's much easier to get a funny mod there then an informative.
