Well, since i'm on a hackerspace tour currently, I was thinking about this
again. Yelp basically has two fields for a review: the review prosa itself
and a quantitized rating. Also, you can rate the reviews themselves.

It seems most of the review sites have this quantitized rating (4 out of 5,
3 stars out of 10, whatever). I don't think that is really useful though
for hackerspace reviews. The meta-review (rating the reviews) might..

Anyway, as a first stab at getting this started, i'm thinking of a template
to store reviews, with fields 'author', 'review' and 'hackerspace'. Add in
some mediawiki magic to make a form appear on each hackerspace page (or a
page with the same name in the Review namespace) that allows inputting
the review text. And some more magic to aggregate the reviews on the
page.

Now I'm resisting the temptation to porpose a rating, such as with 
couchsurfing wher eyou can say 'positive/neutral/negative'. I can
see uses for it, but I hate being negative and think that if you are
being negative you should just shut up :)
