For an example of how that could posibly work, see this page from Harmony Central where people can submit reviews of guitar amplifiers, this is a good thing because it gives musicians a wide variety of opinions before plunking down their hard cash for a major investment: http://www.harmonycentral.com/Guitar/Data/ It's a great resource for opinions on music equipment, probably not such a bad idea for Chess software.
