Actually, way back when, there was talk on ace of making an independent group of code reviewers. Devs or users submit an addon to be reviewed, they pick it apart and give it grades based on various benchmarks. Memory churn, memory use, load speed, execution speed, use of locals vs globals, all that kinda good stuff. User experience (config, easy of use) wasn't on the list, but it could be added.
The idea never took off, but maybe we should give it a second go? Basically the site would give a 1-10 style grade for each benchmark and an overall average. There could also be badges for "Best in class" when multiple addons are compared, say Titan vs. FuBar vs. Telo's Infobar vs. LDB displays.
I'm up for it if you guys are... then WoWI doesn't have to try to create and maintain the system, just encourage people to submit addons for review.
