I think about the concept of rationality a lot, and you touch upon a frequent topic of rumination. Does interestingness always have to be subjective? I don't think so, I think we can reduce it down to the contextual, and identify an ideal middle ground between the two. In that, we can make objective judgments that, given some context, a particular item sticks out and is therefore interesting. And that any interested curator could look at any new entrant and discover almost immediately what makes it interesting.
I think many machine language workloads boil down to searching for signal amongst noise. A human can then go look at the anomalies.
I wouldn't want a survey of a bunch of coders barely interested in curation. I want the guys who have been dealing with these things their entire careers and really care about the differences.
Not quite fully-automated discovery, but with a minimum of human fuss and a maximum of deliverable rational information.
