wow excellent point. I think only the VAM is manual when it comes to adding the tools. I have no way to automatically add tools that BPs create. However, if we proposed that BPs add to their bp.json all the tools they have created I could automate that piece.

1. Performance does not require communication to me. Although not all BPs get a performance rating because they are not in the top 21 slot. I was working on getting performance stats from the test network so we could get an idea how a BP would perform if they did slot into the top 21.
2. Popular Vote does not require any communication to me. This is available via the chain
3. VAM does require communication to me. But like I said above if we could get this added to the bp.json we might have something here :-). The rating system on the tools is automatic though.
4. Validation does not require any communication to me. This is up to the BPs to keep their bp.json files upto date and websites.
5. Global location. This is also up to the BPs and doesn't require any special communication to me.
   So... with that said. If we could somehow have the tools BPs are creating in the bp.json or into a contract on the chain then I could be 100% out of the picture. Which I would really like :-).
   Just some thoughts. Thanks for the input.
