Hi all,
Personally I give no importance to articles' quality average rating but I think this rating system may be useful for an other purpose. My principal concern is to offer to *those who want* a list of article version reviewed by persons in whom they trust. Here is a concrete example of what I would like to be able to do:
For the Egyptology project, I would like to create an (informal) reviewers committee where each member gives information about his expertise level (professional, professor, autodidact, etc.). Members of this committee review all articles version they want like any other users. Then I would like to allow the readers to obtain the list of articles' versions corresponding to the criteria of their choice. For example, the list of versions that was rated more than 7/10 by Miss Foo and Mister Bar. A default search criterion may be versions that was rated more than 5/10 by any member of the committee.
What do you think about that? Will the new rating system allow that?

Presumably all manner of stuff can be written to process the ratings data. And the ratings data should be available for analysis (though I expect it wouldn't make any sense without a current database dump including usernames as well).
