As one of the reviewers in Michalis' Global Internet workshop experiment I thought I'd add two thoughts.
Like Michalis, I felt the GI '07 reviewing experience went well. The one result that multiple PC members mentioned was that you could not slack off on reviewing a bad paper. No one felt they were trying to be nicer in reviews and I didn't see any signs in the ratings that people were grading higher. One comment was that just putting one's name on the reviews still didn't give reviewers the complete picture -- the discussions among reviewers played a key role and if we were going to pursue the approach further, we needed to find a way to expose discussions. At the same time, I am struck that the number of submitted papers plummeted and stayed down (Joe's point). Thanks!
