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.
Exactly. We release the data and people should then dive upon it and
find applications for it.
Last but not least, we could make it prepare tea!
Well, maybe not.
Yeah, that'll have to wait for 1.8.
