Hey folks,
I posted to this list in August with an idea for a generalized revision
quality classification service. Well, I have been hard at work writing
code[1] and organizing a project[2]. Today, I'd like to call your
attention to a grant proposal to fund some work on the project. See
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Revision_scoring_as_a_service
*TL;DR: *You should be able to request
http://revscores.wmflabs.org/enwiki?rev_id=4567893 and get back {"text_svm":
{"damage": 0.65273, "good-faith": 0.74527}} This service could be used in
tools like Huggle and vandal bots to flag edits that are likely to be
damaging.
Please review the proposal and endorse it if you see fit. I'd also
appreciate if anyone on this list would be able to spare the time to advise
us and work with us on developing formats/standards that will be generally
useful.
