I would classify this as a KM thing, not something that should be private to any kind of content package.
<p>For instance, the general ratings package, when complete, would provide one mechanism for promotion. A general polling/voting type package might be another mechanism. Such general service, attachable to any object, provide ways to promote useful Q&A threads to prominent status. And with special hooks for content editor/admin types, content deemed of special interest by them could be promoted as well.
<p>I'd much rather see a general attack on the problem rather than package-specific approaches. After all the "most valuable information on running AOLserver under Win32" might include forum threads, documents in file storage, and a wimpy point presentation.
