EE: This kind of trust network has been investigated by Advogato.com; it seems to work fairly well. There's a deeper description of algorithms for it there. | EE: This kind of trust network has been investigated by Advogato.com; it seems to work fairly well.

For each of these metrics you could also ask the question, how does this version's metrics compare to the previous version's metrics? (or the average metrics over the lifetime of the extension) to find out if the latest version is better or worse than the previous one. | |||
This could be displayed on the extensions page in some way so that people can have some idea of how desirable it is to update to the latest version as well as being used to create a "most improved" or "top movers" list. | |||
If there was a significant drop in quality a link to the previous version could also be displayed under the install button, although it might be best if that was triggered by an editor as it wouldn't take into account effects like negative reviews when an extension isn't compatible with the latest version of Firefox. | |||
