Yes, but as far as I understand, this API can not provide recent revisions information in real time. :(
So it is not directly usable for the wpcvn rc patrol tool as it continuously requires recent edits data.

It looks like they've published the code though. I'll try to find some tome and integrate their ratings into the wpcvn.
Their approach of fine-grained text origins sounds pretty solid. And their algorithm also had performed better than mine in the PAN 10 competition.
By the way, if  anybody from the Wikitrust team is present here - congrats! And I've just skimmed over your paper - excellent work.

Perhaps have a look at the WikiTrust API: <http://www.wikitrust.net/vandalism-api>

I'm currently prototyping an XMPP based RC feed, which has much more detailed
info, and is more reliable, than the IRC feed:

No *this* definitly sounds like WikiTrust, though I'm not sure if they expose
this info via the API.
