Q: How should we provide the tool's results?

Dario is very interested in this.

Q: Gadget links to external page or is embedded within the article page? A: Brandon suggests: embedded

Q: List Generator - Testing with small groups of authors or 3 WikiProjects or further ideas? A: Brandon suggests WikiProjects first, Military History first because it's largest on en.wp. (When we do experiments, we do them on English.) On DE - where? Chemistry maybe? Physics? A: Starting with groups of authors, you get weird biases in the data.

Q: ASQM - Inclusion and testing for readers (without an account)? A: Yes, sure, why not? Readers care about this a lot more than editors... surface that articles could possibly get stale
