this idea isn't new...

how are you going to stop multiple ratings from the same person?
if a person changes their mind, say, after learning the language being
used in the article, how can they change their rating? just rate
again? should they rate a 5 instead of a 4 because they rated it
originally a 3 and the to balance it at a 4 they need to rate it a 5?
