I am +1 to move ratings under platform/plugins/ + platform/applications/ and work toward a 1.0 release (what's probably missing for this is documentation). As of making it part of XE, I think this need work on reviewing and probably refactoring both the plugin and application. +0 for moving the collection plugin (don't really know this one).
