[thesite] voting for articles

Firstly, thanks to Richard for throwing in his POV. It's exactly what this
list thrives on; a fresh perspective is always useful.


 From Dan:

I do, and I agree with Michele. For now, ignoring the technical
implementation, it would be far better to have a single login/preferences
page for everything evolt.org.

That is, something which handled sign-up to various lists, the settings for
each, site settings for *EO, etc.

I don't think that Michele and Richard are the only people who've found the
process frustrating, or have not even realised that their list membership !=
site membership.



That said, I don't really think that allowing anonymous comments is a great
idea.

I'm not so concrete on disallowing anonymous ratings though. I think we
potentially miss out on a lot of possible ratings. Many people who find a
single article via a search engine, or link from another list/site are
unlikely to have the inclination to sign-up just to rate an article. It'd be
cool to be able to cater for these people easily, and allowing anonymous
ratings might be the best way to accomplish this.
