Maybe we* could encourage better scoring by holding competitions to 
encourage the development of some open source teams to come up with 
nifty, innovative scoring techniques?

Since grub is distributed, and I am pretty sure it is the backend, we 
can have various teams compete with a percentage, like each team gets a 
few hundred boxes to play with. 

Maybe each team does specialized scoring for certain topics, so that way 
people can go on Wikia search try out various searches and providing 
community feedback to what team's doing the job well.

Now you just need to find an incentive for teams. ;) Like, uh, 
profitable spinoffs on the atlas architecture.

Just spitting out ideas. Long live open source.

* I say we because it seems to be a fairly open project.
