I’d be happy to do that. Might work best to have someone else as host who can ask questions as I attempt to explain how the math works and why it is what it is.

Right now I’m writing up the idea of the “grapevine worldview” which lets you visualize the sources of information (follows, mutes, lists, notes, etc) and how they are processed in multiple stages by the grapevine to provide answers to whatever questions we are interested in. That may help to clarify why the grapevine WoT score needs to function as a *weight*. By weight, I mean: how *loud* is someone’s voice on some given topic? We want to screen out the bots, but we don’t want to make it a popularity contest, and the math is chosen so it strikes the right balance.
