In a method of online collaboration between multiple users, a subject for debate (e.g. a problem to be solved) is posted on a website. A number of keywords are assigned to the subject to categorize it (e.g. economics, healthcare, politics, hospitals). Proposals for the subject (e.g. possible solutions) are submitted by users and posted on the site. Other users give their opinion of these proposals through a rating system that allocates points to the proposal, the rating being based on a number of factors. These include but are not limited to: the opinion of the user rating the proposal (e.g. good, bad, great, very bad); and the points attained by that user's own proposals in related subjects. Thus, ratings submitted for proposals reflect demonstrated expertise of users, giving a more meaningful result. |
