How do you plan to do trust calculation?

The FMS system, as proposed on the freesite when I last looked at it,
looks overly simplistic to me.

If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading about the Advogato
trust metric; it's specifically intended to be resistant to attacks,
including spamming.
