I have created a Chrome plugin that makes the ratings displayed on the site more meaningful. It is available from the Chrome Web Store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/de...
The problem I saw with the ratings is that they are too good. All the difference is in the decimals and it is hard to infer any meaning from them at a glance.
The plugin does exactly what I talk about in the article. The average ratings are mapped onto a new scale from 0 to 10. A screenshot is available on the plugin page.
Please let me know if you enjoy this plugin or want further discussion.

There is a short analysis on this available: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/de...
