...When you talk about correlating a node's reputation to the authors XP, you have to consider a lot of things...

Indeed. As with everything in life, make up your own mind. So there is no XP * Rep = Sense formula, it is only an indication. But knowing the Rep of a node gives you more to decide on, that's all.

...And then there is the story of the Saint that has 0 writeups...

Which is probably a votebot. At least that votebot will be able to get XP without skewing the reputation of nodes with the "tell me" option. And fortunately, nobody will need to correlate its XP with any writeups, so who cares? ;-)

... Now, you could ask to become a PM devil. See what work is involved - volunteer to take it on yourself...

Where do I sign up? Actually, I don't think the actual implementation would be such a big problem. The work will be in the proper documentation and the "cultural" change that needs to follow to make it a success.
