It'll be an interesting dashboard to visualize 'range of influence scores' and 'numbers of members' ...especially periodic pattern change.

I'm confident that will inspire members to participate/contribute more contents and possibly better contents ...to enrich this site.

You have a point but it will all depend how it is represented and what algorithm is used. Many believe that the way it us done right now is not fair.

At the end of the day, its all just numbers, not a big deal.

Always fun to see metrics visualized - /r/dataisbeautiful - Anything that would provide insight to influence would be welcomed here.

As far as motivation, that would be interesting.

Transparency is the keyword.
If members find algorithm is clear and fair. They will trust influence score as 'value identifier' ...and that'll drive sizable portion of members to leverage the benefits of their individual score.

Besides that, such dashboard will indicate relative state of member community as whole.

As Rami said: "..., its all just numbers,...".
Why should I feel better having e.g. a 40 instead of 4? I'm a member to get in contact with other PMs, learn from them, get new ideas and so on.

And, last but not least, to have some variety by discussing trivials like "influence score" with you. ;-)

Last weekend, I was playing with features to figure out what impacts this score. It could be more than 'just numbers'. It has potential to be used by recruiters to screen prospective candidates ...akin to school GPA or personal finance FICO score. It's good that members are talking about recent changes in their scores. 'Hope that brings some clarity from 'administrators'.
BTW, Manfred - Thanks for participating in this trivials :)
