hi

it is still not clear to me.

how to calculate "highest absolute score achieved so far"?

Author Reputation = {sum of [(popularity of LO to which Author has contributed) 
* author's percentual contribution ] } / highest absolute score achieved

" sum of [(popularity of LO to which Author has contributed) * author's percentual 
contribution ] " is clear to me


but then how to calculate the term  *** highest absolute score achieved ***.
