Yeah, I posted to WTA a few weeks ago (has it already been a month?) 
some suggestions for the tables, but nobody got back to me. My message 
was in response to one by Goertzel, and I can't seem to find it so 
easily, but I'll go and get it and forward it to the list here so that 
we can finalize the table structures.

Ideally, as the number of participants increases, the average workload 
can decrease.

Similarly, and a bit more too, I hope to discuss such a project on this 
list in the future, with the intention of a "group promoter" so that we 
may actually reduce average workload and distribute it over a number of 
groups, which is very much collaborative filtering as you mention, but 
with the "extropy - drive for improvement and growth" implemented 
(quoted from your site).

SourceForge is an interesting example of a group promoter, empowering 
programmers with little overhead costs, but there isn't a direct 
correspondence of their software model to what we need to implement, is 
there?
