IA Summit 2008
Miami, Florida

What will we cover?
1. First, let’s define our terms
2. Then we’ll review a number of
common reputation patterns
3. Finally, I’ll pose a number of
questions designed to assist you in
employing these patterns
properly.
DESIGNING YOUR REPUTATION SYSTEM IN 15 EASY STEPS
With 15 questions, I may be over-reaching. But once I’d submitted the talk title to the
Summit, I felt committed!
Though some questions will be given a highly-abbreviated treatment, the set really does
represent every issue I think you’d have to deal with when designing a reputation system.
I will try to publish a complete and annotated version of the questions online after the
summit.

What’s my reputation?
