##About

<a href="http://stackrating.com">StackRating.com</a> tracks user *ratings* which is a measure of users “skill”. It does so by comparing the number of upvotes on the answers of each question and uses the formula of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system">the Elo rating system</a> to update the ratings.

I created it because I was curious to see if there was any correlation between skill and reputation. (It was also really fun to see if my personal opinion about other users could be backed by math ;-)

For a detailed explanation of how it works and how to interpret the rating numbers, see the <a href="http://stackrating.com/about">about page</a>.
