[Lispweb] Link-it: The nextgen reddit written in Common Lisp is online

[Marc Battyani]

The second release of linkit is online at the usual place:
http://linkit.fractalconcept.com
Be sure to register to see the new functionalities like the positive and
negative filters for categories and submitters and the ajax like stuff.

It is what I have so far after about 7h of work.

I don't know what do you think, but for me that the proof of concept is over
and conclusive.
(I hope that the other people who are doing one will be able to show
something soon.)

Now what next ?
We can stop threre or we can go on to much interesting stuff based on that
platform.

If we go on, obviously the ranking of links and submitters is the next step.
I did not implement it yet as maybe we would like to use a different system
of ranking.
For instance we could try to make correlations between actions of users and
present "selected for you by linkit" links on a personalized basis.
We could register votes and let users assign more or less weight to voters.
Or discovers the weights magically.

As for new functionalities, I've already added positive and negative filters
for categories and submitters as it seems ovbious to me that not anybody is
interested in US politics for instance.

What about user comments about links ? Yes, no, maybe ? Yes with the same
show/kill filters

A new interface ? Other ideas ?
