I agree that a sort of statistics system can be useful.
But then you will have to be sure that this kind of system has to be
maintained by one person. If you let the user do it himself then a user
can influence the rate to put his doc on top of the list.
If you let the system calculate this kind of rating then the user can do
the same by adding one space or word to his doc and ..... voila! again
back on top of the list.
So it is a very good suggestion, but it has to be done by again another
volunteer!
