since my intent and sathiya.sw's are same, I would like to answer your questions

And just exactly what value would this add to the voting system or the quality of home nodes?
voting system in my opinion is just an appreciation to the value contributed by the perlmonks user.
what is the purpose of having a profile(editing) link in user's home page, please clarify.


Do you want to punish someone for not making their bed?
Not exactly, appreciation is my intent, (another suggestion, just provide only ++ link, not -- at all)

Just more needless branches on a decision tree that make the code base and bug fixes potentially more complex.
I couldn't visualize this, reason that I know nothing about internals of perlmonks site, please tell me how this 'provision of voting on home node' could go complex?

Go write a tutorial.
We wanted to contribute to the system where we learn knowledge from. Tutorial is one way but not the only way.

Atlast, if providing voting on home node requires lots of thinking and development time, testing time, etc, and if we don't have enough people/resources to do that, it is okay, we expect some monk(might also be me) who thinks voting on home node is useful; could get into pmdev sort of groups and could convince all powerful users of this perlmonks system and make this thing possible.
