Once we start mashing up data from other interesting platforms we need to find a way to rank users in a way that makes sense. I discussed this briefly with @kyjan recently.
I think we might get away with something super easy that I call relative reputation. The relative reputation would be percentage value which is the reputation compared to the best user of the given platform.
Example
On StackOverflow (Jon Skeet)[http://stackoverflow.com/users/22656/jon-skeet] is the best user with a reputation of 653,106 points. His relative reputation would be 100 %. A user with a reputation of 326,553 would have a relative reputation of 50%.
Now let's assume we integrate dribble or github which does not have a concept of reputation but at least have a concept of followers. I don't know which is the most followed user of github but let's assume he has 100,000 followers. Then he would have a relative reputation of 100 % and a user with 50,000 followers would have a relative reputation of 50 % accordingly.

@kyjan @PascalPrecht what do you think about it?
