[Wikipedia-l] The GNU diction package

Fri Jul 16 16:45:03 UTC 2004

I've just noticed the GNU diction package, which applies a number of 
"figure of merit" measures to text. Although the figures it generates 
are of debatable usefulness, it might be an interesting experiment to 
run it on a Wikipedia dump

Some questions:
* Do the various readability scores rise as articles are revised?
* Would it be worth creating special pages to find the best/worst 
articles by reading score, so they can be copyedited, or checked to see 
if they are suitable for being featured articles?
