As recently announced on the tech blog and in the Signpost, we're launching an experimental new tool today to capture article feedback from readers as part of the Public Policy Initiative. We're also inviting the user community to help determine its future by joining a workgroup tasked with evaluating it.
If i understand correctly, a very similar tool is enabled in all articles on the Hungarian Wikipedia for quite a long time. Just go to http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random and look at the bottom. (If you can't read Hungarian, go to http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences and change your language; English and French work.)
Did anyone try to contact the hu.wp community and ask them about their experiences with this tool?

If so, I'd be curious to hear how it worked for the Hungarian community!
There's also a version of reader ratings enabled on the English Wikinews: http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Main_Page
David, you are as ever prescient :) For those curious about current 1.0 efforts on the English Wikipedia, there's a list of ongoing projects here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team#Wikipedia_... The 1.0 team has been very active in producing release versions, and are currently working on 0.8.

And more:
'wmgUseReaderFeedback' => array( // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! // Setting this requires some extra tables // Install extensions/ReaderFeedback/ReaderFeedback.sql // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'default' => false, 'en_labswikimedia' => true, 'enwikibooks' => true, 'enwikinews' => true, 'huwiki' => true, 'readerfeedback_labswikimedia' => true, 'strategyappswiki' => true, 'strategywiki' => true, 'testwiki' => true, 'trwikinews' => true, ),

Bence from the hu.wp community was kind enough to reach out via the Communications Committee about the hu.wp experience with the feature. The implementation on hu.wp actually merges article feedback with their implementation of flagged revs. But according to Bence, the number of ratings per article is on the low end, so it may be difficult to draw useful conclusions for en.wp. Still, it would be good for everyone to keep each other updated on how the feature is being used, what's working vs. what's not, etc.
