### New Features
- What feature(s) did you add?

The bot now is from a functional perspective complete, **since I added the autovoter to the repository today**. Actually, this is running for a week or so in a productive environment and is quite stable at the moment.
Nevertheless, this is only the first attempt and for sure quite a crude one. It does what it should and also in a very timely manner, but it can be done better, this is for sure.
Getting a ruleset for the votes, an algorithm fair and sound for calculating vote weights, was the hardest job in that development.
I talked to quite a few members of the community and in the end, we came up with a leaderboard, sorted by a number of community votes, and the more votes the more percent vote weight you will get in the end.

- How did you implement it/them?

Well, the database with the community votes is already there and gets filled on a daily basis with the articles the community want to curate. Therefore I just had to take those articles and calculate the vote weights.
Since there are a few different possibilities I had to differentiate between 3 cases.

I am also writing a log in order to be able to audit what the bot is doing.

Here you can see the log of 25.04.2018 with all the cast votes.
