--- 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))
