The last time we tried something like this, it degenerated into a massive discussion of which ratings parameters and rating methodology should be used[1], and nothing ever happened.
Yes, but that was a side issue - the reason it didn't happen was that Brion didn't like the extension to implement it so it fell by the wayside.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
0. get Brion and Tim to agree that this is something they wouldn't actually be horrified to put on the site if it passed technical muster and the community were going "hell yes" loud enough. 1. get the community support in place. 2. write something for MediaWiki that does this but that Brion and Tim would be willing to put on the live servers.
