Karma server is needed to rate the mailing lists posts (and/or other "content"), with the goal to share the ratings with "friends", within one or more communities. And to enable serch within <br />
<br />
One of the usages is to enable mail clients (and/or mailing list servers) do the ratings; to interact with the karma server, to upload and download ratings; also to choose people whose ratings I want to follow; <br />
<br />
This is a useful feature for several large communities that have many mailing lists (RIPE, NANOG, IETF); but also fo any smaller community (for example, hackerspace) that communicates via mailing lists. Using the karma server would lower the barrier for participation (since it is easier to rate "=1" or "-1" then to emial "mee too", or even more constructive post..).<br />
<br />
What needs to be done:<br />
* write SW for karma server<br />
* write patches that modify email clients<br />
* promote the usage of this in several communities (29c3! ripe meeting, nanog meeting / lists, ietf...) <br />
* write an RFC about it... <br />
* maintain the "github" / open source repository of the SW<br />
<br />
Similar implementations:<br />
* "slashdot" -- only on the web<br />
* Facebook... <br />
* ripe ncc has the rating of posts, on the closed web app, only for wg-chairs<br />
* perlmonks.org (nice system that encourages voting)<br />
