I can also see the want for a neutral method for determining the state of a particular developer's skill in a given area relative to the skill distribution across the set of all developers ordered by skill. I think there exists an adjective which would cut the preceeding sentence in half, but I cannot recall it. I'm also back on medication for bronchitis, so I'm not functioning at peak mental efficiency either. But I believe there are valid points to having some kind of ratings system, to help developers identify weak areas or specific areas of interest. > > > If there will be no good reasons against this, I'll work on a > > proposal.
