Top recommendations?
I know that recommendations are a personal thing (what one likes another may not), but would it be useful to create a "recommendation list"? I suppose this would be conceptually similar to a C2 on FF.net, but the stories could come from anywhere (any site). Besides adding to the list, there would have to be a way for people to "+1" so that over time, it would differentiate between good and really good (or something like that :-). OK, it would really only show most popular, but I think that still has value.
I sort of have a mental "all-time top 5" list (or maybe it's top 8 :-), and I'm curious about other people's favorite stories, and what good stories are out there that I have yet to find.
Requirements for implementor:
* screen to show list of stories, ability to sort descending by count or ascending by title
* button beside each story to add your vote for a story, unavailable if a person has already voted for it
* set of blank fields to add a new entry
* table fields: story_id (not shown), title, author, url, count
* table fields: story_id, user_id (this table is to track who's voted for what, so dupe votes can't be cast, data is not shown)
Just an idea...

I have something like that on my website.
http://www.fedtrek.com/eFiction/browse-recommendations.html
Its an add-on module for eFiction 3.0+.
A fish without a bicycle cannot contemplate his navel.
I'm contemplating a digg-like part of the site for such things, but I need to do some serious testing first to see how it would work with this site.
I _know_ drupal can do it without bridging it to eFic or something else. If we managed to turn it into a fic site, we can do that too. But as I said, testing first.
