Uh oh; now I'm confused again. I thought articles were rated, not groups.
Assuming that the above represent articles ("lugnet.foo.bar" = one post in
lugnet.foo?), then the rating shown on the web page would be:
lugnet.foo.bar 64
lugnet.bar.baz 70
lugnet.glorp.gnort 91
(assuming that the "current value" is just the average of all votes)?
I assume you don't want to calculate this on the server side to save CPU?
(It seems like doing so would vastly simplify the client side; instead of
needing to know about history and time and all that, it could just say:
gimmie a list of what everything is now. Or as a compromise: gimmie a list
of everything updated since I last checked.)
Maybe I'm missing something (like I said, I'm confused) but it seems like
it'd make sense to calculate the (new) current value whenever a new rating
is submitted, and store that. (I assume that articles will be read at least
an order of magnitude more often than they are rated.)
