This Points system will be a far superior way to rank-ordering users on the Leaderboard. Expect that we'll start to use the Daily/Monthly/All-Time Leaderboard stats to give out grants/delegations/prizes (in a similar manner to how we conduct LPUD).
The Points system can be tweaked over time as we gather data on how people are performing. Generally, this can add a deep-level of gamification to the interface.
I (Khal) have also long-said that I would love to replace the Reputation Score system on the Interface with a completely new "Engagement Score". I imagine that something related to this points system would be possible and would allow us to then use the API for that purpose and many others. Potentially even open-sourcing that API for other Hive UIs to tap into as well.
