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(a)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.
