I'm not sure we'd want to copy the Scoop model, but I have heard repeated requests for "content rating" where folks can vote on or rate blog posts and then view them most popular posts per day, week or other time period. And I've heart plenty of requests for threaded comments and more forum like features. Personally, I'd like to see these features in Roller or more readily available to Roller users. I'm not sure if the best way to do those things is to build them into Roller, make it possible to develop them as plugins or improve integration with other content rating systems (e.g Slynkr) and forums (e.g. Jive, JavaBB). - Dave
