One way or another, without human interference the news built this way will be skewed in some way. We need a way to prioritise tickets in a way that would preclude bias. The most natural would be polling of tickets for news-priority, and then aggregating the result of the poll in a good way (there are results on how to fight bias this way, I am told). Otherwise our news will go the way FB's news went. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
