[Web of Trust] Ranking system for peers

[pmn]

Define how peers are ranked for trust.

The manifesto describes the trust concept as:

Trust is ranked for each peer

• How much you trust what they're adding
• How much you trust what they're deleting
• How much you trust what they're tagging/annotating

Trust is transitive, e.g.:

• There are three peers, A B C, with A connected to B, B connected to C
• Peer A trusts peer B 50%
• Peer B trusts peer C 75%
• Because of the transitive trust, this means that A trusts C 37.5% (50% of 75%)

This seems like a problem well suited for a graph database

I think this needs some rework. Maybe average, mean or something similar would be a better idea. Otherwise in the current model, one link of 1% trust would penalize it too much.
