 > How do local wp accounts map to forum accounts?

 Unless we're going to allow `anonymous` ratings/reviews ^(which due to
 spam and gaming of ratings, I don't consider possible)^, we'd have to do
 something akin to:
 > user has to link their local wp account to a .org forum account, because
 then it's really the same as if they were putting a review directly on
 .org, isn't i?

 Maybe we could streamline account creation from the WordPress install with
 their user details, based on some heuristics of how risky the site seems
 (ie. domain registered last week? -10 points, multiple signups from that
 domain in the last week? -5points, etc) all with their approval of course.

 But to start with, if you could link your WordPress.org account with your
 WordPress site account to allow rating from your dashboard, that would be
 a start.

 Linking the account would also open up other things like the plugin/theme
 favourites being more accessible.

 We could also look at something like "Rate & Review" without-an-account
 which used an email confirmation to create an account after-the-fact.. I
 think some experimentation would be needed here to find a workflow that
 works for end-users, WordPress.org, and the moderation team.
