There's also a version of reader ratings enabled on the English

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_1.0_projects
The 1.0 team has been very active in producing release versions, and
are currently working on 0.8.
