Article's Relevance

I have updated the algorithm for calculating articles relevance (+ I fixed a typo which prevented using this measure for “Important” list on a main page). I switched to exponential decay function with half-life set to half year + post importance * 19 days. For example, post with importance 10 will have half-life 183 days + 190 days and post with importance 1 will have half-life 183 + 19 days. Half-lifes may be set manually on per-post basis.

I’m still not sure if this will yield satisfactory results long term and maybe I’ll have to tune some coefficients. Currently plots for automatic half time look like this:
