Yes, we will be releasing a skin to do just that in a short while. People using the skin will be able to view the colored page. Still, this will be for the static snapshot. To be able to view the trust of an always up-to-date version of the pages, we need to put more work into it; it may be ready in a couple of months or so.
I am glad you like it!
And btw, see the comment below to your technical point.

I would really like to see this as a script that you can add to view live the 'trust' of the current revision of every article. You could even have cat:untrusted as a way of storing articles that are candidates for revision.

It looks like it has some issues as obviously it can't evaluate actual text, or the weight/value of additional contributions (which, regardless of their actual value, contribute to the relative trust of the rest of the article). Still, pretty neat.
We do take into account additional contributions: if you do a little change to a paragraph, the text close to the change has a trust that depends on your reputation, but the text in the rest of the paragraph gains trust, as by leaving it in place you have implicitly voted "I agree with it". The algorithms we use are explained in the papers cited. I know they are hard to read; I am preparing a simpler visual explanation of the algorithms.

Dear All,
we have a demo at http://wiki-trust.cse.ucsc.edu/ that features the
whole
English Wikipedia, as of its February 6, 2007 snapshot, colored
according to
text trust. This is the first time that even we can look at how the "trust coloring" looks on the whole of the Wikipedia! We would be very interested in feedback (the wikiquality-l@lists.wikimedia.org mailing list is the best place).
If you find bugs, you can email us at http://groups.google.com/group/wiki-trust
Happy Holidays!
Luca
PS: yes, we know, some images look off. It is currently fairly
difficult
for a site outside of the Wikipedia to fetch Wikipedia images correctly.
PPS: there are going to be a few planned power outages on our campus in
the
next days, so if the demo is off, try again later. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
