Techniques are described for estimating the effort involved in creating content on a content site. Embodiments of the invention may collect data by monitoring actions taken by a user creating content on the site, and may then calculate an effort value for the created content based on the collected data. The calculated effort value may then be used, for example, to determine a position in a moderation queue for inserting the user-created content, or to determine whether to feature a particular user on the site.

Automated effort judgement of user generated content

Method and system for creating an electronic circuit design from a system-level environment. A plurality of user-selectable system-level design objects are provided in the system-level environment. Each system-level design object is defined by a system-level function and is selectable by a system-level designer. A plurality of hardware-level design objects are also provided. Each hardware-level design object is configured to generate a hardware definition of a hardware-level function. Each system-level design object maps to one or more hardware-level design objects. In response to selections made by the designer, a system-level design is instantiated in a system-level design file. The system-level design includes user-selected ones of the system-level design objects. The system simulates behavior of the system-level design consistent with both the system-level functions and behavior of a hardware definition from the hardware-level design objects that implement the user-selected ones of the system-level design objects.
