Rather than get into an argument about what makes a project certified or 
not, a 'digg' style voting system might be better:

1) each registered user can vote +1, 0, or -1 on each project. The 
project then gets a score, which is a simple sum of these.

2) a user can change their vote on a project at any time.

3) votes that are over 1 year old get expired, and set to 0.

One potential difficulty with this is someone registering a boatload of 
accounts in order to shill a particular project. This can be mitigated 
if people can, sliced by project and user, see who voted for what.
