There are heaps of things we can do with rating data!

For example, we could generate regular lists of articles that haven't 
been rated, ensuring that all articles eventually get a rating.

Then we could generate regular lists of articles with the lowest 
ratings, allowing us to improve where we fare worst.

Then we could generate regular lists of articles with the highest 
ratings, allowing us to find suitable featured-article candidates. Maybe 
we'll find that with the validation feature the featured-article process 
becomes redundant!

Then we could combine any of the above with categories, so users with 
narrow interests can chip in, but confine themselves to their pet topic.

Last but not least, we could make it prepare tea! Well, maybe not.
