We should implement CVS-style tagging, where specific article revisions are 'tagged' so that the group of revisions with that tag can be called up instantly. This could be used for the push to 1.0 by having a tag for the 1.0 revisions.

Related to this, Magnus has some test code to do ratings. Magnus, how ready is that to be put into a live, busy Wikipedia?
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.

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.

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.

I already tag versions in my wikiprojects, see http://nerdypc.wikinerds.org/index.php/Help:Article_versions

Tagging is politically contentious, at least on en:. But rating article versions has gotten a reasonable reception. (Hence the idea of running ratings and just gathering data to see what it looks like.)
