As you know I think that player rankings (AKA stats) are evil. What I think can be useful is to keep a record of "partnership" results, so whenever you play with a partner you can see somewhere your record with that player both in IMPs and MPs.

Example:
Foo & Bar (IMP: +0.54 in 31 hands, MPs: 53% in 987 hands)

This is a nice way to keep an idea of your success ratio and the results you are having with a particular pd.

I don't know if this should/shouldn't be visible to opponents, I accept suggestions about that.

What do you think?

Let people innovate and they will come up with great add-ons to BBO. I would suggest some sort of interface with the client such that people could write plug-ins to the client and keep track of stuff like average score with each partner. The BBO server has enough scalability problems as it is without having to maintain this sort of information. That isn't to say that the server is written poorly just that any centralized system has the potential to be a bottleneck. The other reason to do it this way is that Uday can add a plug-in interface to the client once and thereafter people can innovate in parallel with Uday's other work. My real wish would be for a skinnable interface like WinAmp.
