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.
