Scoring / ranking algorithm #104
Description
Once we get reviews in place this will be even a lower priority, but would still be a fun feature to implement. This idea comes from http://knpbundles.com/, however I think we can clean up the implementation.
We'll need some collaboration on how the algorithm could work, but I think instead of a "point" system like KNPBundles.com, we should look at more of a PageRank type result, where the score is on a scale of 0 - 10.
FAQ on KNPBundles.com's scoring algorithm. I think they have a very good start on the various metrics that are useful in discovering high quality modules.
Obviously if this were implemented, it would be an optional way of sorting modules, and mostly for fun -- we don't want this to turn into something political or create any unfairness in the modules community. Everyone should really have an equal chance to have their module discovered.
We could also probably start up a conversation with the KNPBundles folks and ask them for any ideas or tips they have for something like this, as I'm sure they've learned a thing or two creating their own implementation!
