YESSSS!!!!
Thank you, Dave!
Now I don't care how low or high the daily limit is. Now browsing the lists contains its own reward!
Here's a wacky, half-baked idea. As traders star various offerings, they are expressing interests that might be captured for some other purpose (like "Big Data").
Right now the Plant Database has categories for "Have and Want" that name individual people.
Would there be any value in logging how many people put 5 or 4 stars on a certain variety?
If it was just one "Popularity" statistic that was logged, maybe each star should increment that statistic by the square of the # of stars, or maybe the 1.5 power.
1 star = +1 (+1)
2 stars = +4 (+2.8)
3 stars = +9 (+5.2)
4 stars = +16 (+8)
5 stars = +25 (+11.2)
The Plant Database could have a field displaying how avidly people "starred" that variety during ATP Seed Swaps. Over time that would generate "Popularity" rankings.
It would be cool if the stat had some "trending" aspect that aged the popularity. Maybe one stat for "all-time popularity" and one stat reflecting only the current quarter's fashionability.
