Keeping score of things
The newest feature on our Planet is post statistics. Every time you make a post you earn 1 point. The total score within the time horizont of the Planet (the latests 15 posts within the last week) determines your order in the list of faces at the top.
The score will probably also determine the size of your face one day…
Suggestions for a better formula is of course happily accepted — patches against the SVN repository is accepted even more happily :-)
I think it’s a cool feature, and I just earned another point for saying that :-)

Sounds complicated and interactive… right now the Planet is generated every 15 minutes and dumped into a static HTML page.
I would much rather count the number of comments made by each of you, recognized by some heuristic (comments by “prunus” and “mirka” would be counted towards your score). I guess the number of comments made on each blog should count for something too, sort of an activity score…

Ranking Fanboy
Big news, Martin has introduced a ranking system on the planet. We are now all ranked according to how many posts we have made on our blogs. I have no idea on how ties are broken though, perhaps Martin can clarify this?
And no, increasing my ranking wa…
