Umm...Isn't the source available in the examples included with arc?
We should have algorithm hunts weekly on hacker news, that'd be sweet. Ahh, I sense a voice telling me I should get back into IRC...

Ranking on stories/comments is not based on karma of the poster, but on how quickly a particular comment/story has been voted up.
But yeah, go check out the code.

Points count, but they count more when given by a user with higher Karma
Comments count, and might be weighted by karma of those who left them (to help rank the overall submission)
Time between comments, probably counts, although this is a little neglected with some stories on the main page have no comments.
(update) Sites that have made the front page before (or frequency) might have a "trusted" status and the level needed to obtain the front page lowered.
Pg, anywhere close?
