I forgot to mention that a while ago we discussed this format :
* (+) Excellent, I use it. [[~Petko]] (datestamp)
* (-) Didn't work for me, PHP 7 required. [[~Peter Bowers]] (datestamp)
That is : asterisk, (special markup keyword), optional comment, signature.
There were many messages about the keywords, should they be (+) and (-), (+1),
(support), (endorse), (friend), (user), and more. With (+) and (-) all
nuances of the "friend" and "endorse" words are sipmlified, but one can
explain his friendship, support or endorsement in the optional comment.
If we happen to agree on a simple format, then a {Recipe-Users$Votes} page
variable can be done to count all "* (+)" and all "* (-)" in the page and
contain something like "(+12, -3)" :
Discussion: [[Recipe-Talk]], [[Recipe-Users]] (+12, -3)
And it is fast as it opens one page only.
And even if a "conversation" starts, the stats will not be broken as the
replies are unlikely to begin with (+) and (-).
And with such a format, a form-based interface can be easily added, should it
be required.
Thanks,
Petko
