Uh oh; now I'm confused again. I thought articles were rated, not groups.

I think that's a typo... should be "lugnet.foo.bar:666 40 60 70 70 80"

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.)

well the way I see it (and Todd might prove me wrong) is that this way
the client has the freedom to do whatever it wants with the ratings...
such as have a separate default rating for each NG, or do some sort of
statistical magic with that data - histograms, StdDev, etc...
