[Developers] Results from the reconciliation service?

[Tom Morris]

Somehow I've managed to completely overlook the Reconciliation service
until just now.

Is anyone using it?  Any results to report?  Tips to make it work better?

My limited testing (with its own example!) makes me a little
suspicious.  If you query for the company 'GM', it returns the untyped
topic for the digraph 'gm' ahead of General Motors.  I thought I could
get things reordered by typing the 'gm' digraph topic with the
'Symbol' type, but it still got returned at the top of the list.

Right now I'm using my own query against name (and aliases) and then
fetching the associated Wikipedia article for some additional analysis
to help disambiguate and punting if I'm not extremely confident of a
match.  Anyone have any other successful strategies or tips that
they're willing to share?

On a related note, has there been any discussion of generalizing and
opening up the end user work queues (á là the voting queue or the
Typewriter queues) to allow tasks to be contributed or is the thought
that each domain/application will have to replicate this?
