Related to this, Magnus has some test code to do ratings. Magnus, how ready is that to be put into a live, busy Wikipedia?
Last time I checked, it worked. However, last time is some month ago...
Also, I doubt anyone else besides me ever worked on the code, so it is probably full of first-version-by-single-person bugs.
OTOH, as it does not really interact with the rest of the system, other than showing an additional "tab", worsed case shouldn't be so bad.
I ask because, chatting with Jimbo about this, he suggested we switch on ratings and ... do nothing with the data. Just gather it for a month, not revealing it so as to minimise observer effect. Then reveal it for everyone to see what they think it tells them.
What would it take for the article/version rating code to be switched on in en:? And exposed in the interface.
One will have to create a new table manually, and decide on a schema (what properties can be tagged, how many grades per tag).
I strongly advice to test this on a demo site with the current 1.4 software, though. If only to check nothing's broken too badly.
