Hi! As the instigator of this "top-n" posters feature, Magnus suggested that I should weigh in. So here goes.. My goal in requesting the feature last year was to encourage more posts, have an at-a-glance reference for outsiders to see how many people are regularly contributing, and to encourage friendly competition. And, given that, I'm not a fan of limiting the number of names that can be displayed.

All policies are of course up for discussion > :-) The original thinking behind this feature was to provide a simple metric for people who are posting to see how they "rank" against others, and to give folks a bit of a cheap thrill in getting their name and a number at the top of the Planet page. The "Teams" feature was added as a way for development teams and businesses to market themselves, without getting to crazy about things. The Individual and Team listings don't show up if no posts are made, so it is an encouragement for both to provide content. And has the added benefit of giving outsiders a look at who contributes, and *how many people* contribute. >> favor just listing the top 6-10 posters (regardless of whether they're >> on a team) and the top 6-10 teams (without listing the posters) and >> call it good. > > If it doesn't show who's a member of a team, isn't that very confusing? I think it is confusing, and a little unfair to those who are part of a team. As we've talked about in the past, names are important. Again, my goal in having the feature was to also show how breadth of contribution to the aggregator. -selena -- http://chesnok.com/daily - me http://endpoint.com - work
