Voting is pretty key by my reading - consensus ratings are the property values of the Canyon page. Sounds most like a partial form, for adding/maintaining a user's vote stored as a subobject. Needs to read some ACL stored such as in HaloACL for user list. Should not worry about 300 template calls -- convert the template into PHP parser funciton if poor performance These votes are surely metadata, so maybe use dublin core properties if possible within subobjects sounds like a fun project - good luck!/john
