Scoring of articles is a planned feature. There is no code yet, but we
have talked about supporting plug-in scorers, so that users can extend the
selection mechanism (the one that decides which articles should be
highlighted and which should be hidden) not only by adding patterns to a
killfile (like in almost all other news readers), but by writing external
programs that filter on more complex rules.
One (far out) idea for those with lots and lots of excess CPU power is to
make use of kneuron to make _really_ clever decisions ;-)

That is really a great idea! Krn could just write down some of the headers
of all articles that are posted in a text file that the scorers/raters
then can read.
I'll try to implement this in some way sooner or later, but for obvious
reasons, it will have to wait until posting is working ;-)
