Comment on Would you agree to algorithm-generated timelines if there were sufficient tools to check whether the timeline on an instance work as promised?

Which would make it important that the default would be something with no tweaks, like a chronological list. But I would be all for a scripting setup or some other configurable sorting engine to play with on a per-account basis. Maybe you could even subscribe to other's sorting configuration.

Maybe you could even subscribe to other’s sorting configuration. You mean subscribing to algorithms of other instances? Really interesting idea but I doubt that it would be a good idea security-wise.

  It would have to be a defined standard. I imagine it not so much as a script that runs, but rather a description of fields and weights. I guess there might be some computation involved, but I think a standard could be devised that there would minimize the security risk.

    Interesting idea. Who would be setting the standards? Some neutral committee? W3C?

    Don't know. As long as it is open source, I'm not sure it would matter. Eventually one would win out with the community.
