The ReaderFeedback component will probably go live sooner, as it's easier to drop in and has less visible impact on the page.
For those not familiar with ReaderFeedback, there's some background and screen shots at:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ReaderFeedback
It allows readers to give feedback (duh ;) on the quality of a page, sticking a little bar down at the bottom of the article for it. (You've probably seen similar sorts of feedback solicitation on other sites like "Did you find this article helpful?") The scores can then be weighted by age and graphed, giving folks some idea of how an article is being perceived over time.
The exact details of what to ask and how many levels to request are configurable.
(This was developed as part of Flagged Revisions originally but has been split off so it's easier to deploy.)
