--- Comment #1 from Nik Everett <[email protected]> --- Wikinews' recent article boost works like this: if < 30 days since last article update do not change score if 30 - 90 days since last artcile update then multiply score by 1-.7/5 (.86) if 90 - 180 days since last artcile update then multiply score by 1-2*.7/5 (.72) if 180 - 365 days since last artcile update then multiply score by 1-3*.7/5 (.58) otherwise multiple score by 1-4*.7 (.44) Cloning that functionality would be difficult to test without a time warping mechanism in the tests which I don't have. OTOH, the following function fits the original mechanism reasonably well: boost=1-0.6*(1-EXP(-days_old*0.004428386)) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
