A plain rating system is a good start to get better orientation for the 
users. On the other hand most extensions are so specific that you can't 
really compare them to other ones. That's the reason why I don't expect 
to much from a plain voting tool. A working system that assures the 
quality of extensions is absolutely needed.

If extension reviews by a fixed team doesn't work, I hope at least for 
some public review features in TER 2, a simple commenting tool for each 
extension. If the owner is unreachable bugfixes could posted there and 
experiances could be reported. That would give a lot of help.

An additional idea would be an automatically created link to the wiki 
per extension. The community could commonly enhance the documents for 
each extension. The way from the extension to commenting should be as 
short as possible.

Probably all that is already on the agenda. :-)
