A set of nice features -- performance hit?

Some thoughts on rating system:

What will be the performance hit for the rating system?

Admin should be able to turn ratings on/off. On a per story basis?

Only logged in users be able to submit ratings -- once per rateable item.

Some kind of trust metrix system so that users can\'t manipulate ratings by creating bogus accounts and submitting ratings?

Rating system in the form of plug in.

What are the priorities of the project?
- creating a rock-solid, fast, expandable well documented core AND developing add ons in form of plugins

or

- creating a feature-rich core applicable to a wider range of requirements right out of the box?

Overall -- great job with GL so far!
I\'ve been following development since v 1.0 and am very impressed by the work of this team!

Something like this could easily be done with a PHP block (now in geeklog 1.3 CVS tree). We can have Geeklog come with a number of blocks that can be enable/disabled (not yet implemented) so that way you have a slick way of including/removing such blocks.

Right now the priorites of the project are simple, add plugin support (95% done), improved security (95%) done and themes/templates (Mark, %90?).

After that it will be a process of improving the plugin API, improving the core GL codebase (move to OO framework) and then adding some more bells and whistles.
