Due to the nature of online contribution(i.e. you must be sitting in front of a computer or web-enabled phone to do so), those with more time to surf will always float to the top in terms of quantity of contribution. Of course, this does not speak to quality, which is totally different.
True web egalitarianism isn't really possible, since not every user has eight hours a day in which to sit in front of a machine. However, this does not mean that the top-level contributors should either be placed on a pedestal or tossed into the bin, with everyone else left to thrash about in the just-in pages.
The real challenge lies in how to engage all users in some way, and it cannot be solved with a simple algorithm.

Glad we weren't the only ones. Canadians just don't understand the awesome power of the lime.

Great news for Iraq, though a shame about the continuing violence that plagues the celebrations. We linked to this blog in our own coverage of the event:
