Viro, do I understand you right that you feel that what is visible to
users will get more funding from users, and that because there will be
far more suppliers the users will be more inclined to not pay for the
unseen benefits than when buying cars?
My answer to this is that users should be given a sample of, say, five
providers, each of whom gets to make their case for what they have done
for the user.
We seek not perfection, but improvement.
Hans
PS
Some of you may be inclined to suggest that such a sampling scheme would
tend to benefit the small contributors..... and to this I say that more
sophisticated mathematical models which reduce the variance between the
importance of those in each sample so as to increase user precision of
assessment can come later after the basic idea is started up.
