I talked to the head of the Review section and he said he was programming a
new system for reviews. He also said that it is supposed to be up this
week sometime. Let me hunt for that message in the archives of my In
box.....ah, here it is:

Note that he said "anticipates" which I have translated to as "not for the
next couple months, bub" :) I think that ticalc.org staff should've
removed everything with the old review system and waited for the new system
to be put in place before putting the reviews back onto the main web page.
That is my opinion though.
