PeerPlugin

This plugin enables TWiki users to rate any topic for Quality of content and Relevance of the topic across their TWiki community. Several display methods are provided:

• A star rating is inserted in the topic header
• A Review link on each topic shows a list of the current reviews
• A link on a user page shows a list of reviews made by that person
• A ratings statistics topic shows an overall summary of reviews by topic

This plugin also allows members of the TWiki community to rate any web page - and can be used to focus attention on the best (and worst) pages out there.
