Haha! At first I thought you were being ironic, ("what the heck does email
have to do with this!?") - but, wow, using ones email to handle
communication with a website is a brilliant and funny idea, at least in
theory! It's a familiar service and everyone knows how to autoforward or
autoreply.
But I realized something; The rating and starts would themselves not
necessarily be linked to anything - they should just show up in a tiddler.
So an alternative to get user ratings and show averages would be to embed a
simple google form in a small iframe. This would mean it is not using your
neat star rating solution :-( and it would also mean it's not with pretty
stars for voting, the closest I find is a row of radio button circles, but
I think displaying the result should be fairly simple to get as stars ("if
avg between x and y, then show image 1" etc). And the "processing", i.e
calculating the average is trivial using google forms (since it is
connected to a spreadsheet).
I'll look into the matter when I have a proper moment to set aside for it.
