working, but what if we strayed away from version rating and had
general ratings on articles? i.e. instead of the database nightmare
just let articles all have 1-5 ratings, with some option like "if ten
people vote to clear ratings, the ratings are reset" so as to not
have articles sandbagged with ratings of ancient versions?
Write it and get the code past Brion?
Put together an implementation in templates? Presumably to be put on
the talk page.
