Article feedback/Public Policy Pilot/Design Phase 2

Phase 2 Scope
For phase 2 of the Article Feedback pilot, we want to address the following issues:


 * 1) "Expired" ratings. (if not defining the formula used, at least developing a system whereby that formula can be applied).  This is both a feature modification and a behavior change.
 * 2) Clearing ratings. The ability for users to "clear" a rating of any values they had previously applied.  This is a feature modification.
 * 3) Instant Submit. Modify the feature's widget to allow for instant submission and reveal.  This is part of an A-B test versus the current behavior (that of requiring a "Submit" button).  This is a behavior change.
 * 4) Modified Survey. Different questions, perhaps targeted clearer.
 * 5) Post-rating "calls to action". We want to see if the simple act of rating an article can easily serve as a gateway towards editing or creating an account. This is both a feature modification, a behavior change, and a data tracking experiment.
 * 6) Post-rating Survey Push.  We want to be more aggressive about asking people to take our survey. This is a behavior change.

Stretch Goals

 * 1) Performance increase.  It would be good to know that the tool will not collapse after a certain threshold.

Out of Scope
The following features were deemed out of scope for phase 2, either because of resource availability constraints or design readiness:


 * 1) Rating histograms. At this point in time there is insufficient data to determine which, if any, histograms will be of best value. Accordingly, spending what limited resources we have available on an ill-defined feature component is unadvisable.
 * 2) Component placement.  Without better data as to the opinion of the community regarding the tool's importance or usefulness, making changes to its position and presentation at this time is premature.
