I'd suggest that you start from today and then take it forward from then if this was to be implemented. We can add it to the PRS stuff that is already there. As mentioned before, take what you want from the PRS and leave the rest if it's not to your own personal taste.

The
raw data should be published on a spreadsheet, giving: Player name;
contact details (e-mail or forum ID); games won verified; games claimed
won; games lost; games dropped; played since date; last win date;
Council of the Wise votes; total VPs, average VPs; etc. etc. etc. That
is, as many stats as can be gathered. Someone will be clever enough to
make it one of those dynamic spreadsheets, where you click the header to
rank all the entries by that stat. Then voila, you have something which
everyone can use according to their own values (brief pause for
self-congratulation on pun.)**** I agree entirely, I believe we've both made this point in the past..? I'd hazard that a couple of the calculated "ratings" values could be added, providing they're recalculated from a starting point of real data, not player reported as were the current ratings. Active/Inactive item also. I'd quite happily help work through some of the data management - some of the db/excel grunt work required to set up the table in the first place - have openly volunteered to do similar work in the past to no avail.
For a model, pick a sporting league and search for the player stats area...
