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.
