As a User or Visitor

I wish to rate a package in some way. On the package view, below Openness, there is a 'Rating' heading with the star rating which is selectable.

Rating out of 5. One user or IP, one vote.

package_rating table:

package | user | rating annakarenina | joe.bloggs.openid.com | 4 annakarenina | 154.2.5.47 | 1

When you login you get given a cookie but it is very short (life of your browser session I think).

Work out how to extend to something reasonable (30 days or perhaps forever with logout unsetting cookie).

1. A quick investigation to see whether this is possible
2. If possible do it

Cost: ?

Several things:

• Default package search (used e.g. on front page) should deal well with multiple items: "abc xyz" means search for both abc and xyz (as separate searches)
• Should automatically display a list of matching tags in a line at top with number of associated packages
• have an option to only search for fully open material (or openly licensed material ...)

Since we should be moving to a more sophisticated search solution anyway (to allow prioritisation etc) maybe we should cautious as to what we do now.
