Would love to have more insight from you on this. "Downer" and "demotivational" seem to indicate that you're approaching this from the perspective of an employee. The site does not operate according to the willingness of employees to be evaluated. I am happy to rate my coworkers who are good or bad (in my opinion). I'm happy to be rated by them, my employers, and my peers. Not everyone feels the same way. That's fine. And, yes, there _is_ a cold start problem. While I'm well aware of the issues with building a useful site (and have many ideas to circumvent them) -- I'm more interested in the perception of the utility of the site were it to exist and have a reasonably large data set.
