RatingDepot

RatingDepot is a system for giving people ratings based on peer review. These ratings can be used to fairly recognize or reward all contributors to a project. The membership of the group can be open. Some ways you will be able to use RatingDepot:

give recognition to all contributors to a voluntary project
share advertising revenue between contributors to a community-driven website or group blog
fund open-source software development: commit to share future profits with the people who send in patches. With RatingDepot, even senders of unsolicited patches have some assurance that they will be paid fairly.
periodically, fairly, redistribute equity between the founders or partners of a company
give out bonus payments based on peer reviews of performance (instead of, or in addition to, managerial reviews)
hire contractors: instead of negotiating a set rate or amount upfront, commit to share a future revenue stream with the contractors according to peer reviews of the completed work
democratically run a project, but give more power to the most experienced and committed participants (in this case RatingDepot is distributing votes, rather than money)
as a "reputation currency", for example, the way that "whuffie" is used in the fictional story Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

After RatingDepot finishes beta-testing, beta testers will get some services for free that others will have to pay for. Email us (see below) if you'd like to be an alpha-tester when we are ready.
