When you get more energy, could you explain how the Elo ratings are
calculated?

Hmm, once we have this matrix of what everybody thinks of everybody
else, we can do fun stuff like calculating Eigenvectors of it to get
some kind of "ranking" and do similarity analysis ("Give me a list
filtered after what my favorites like").
But I guess it has to be implemented as a web board.
