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?
