[Developers] Work queues, leader boards, etc

[Shawn Simister]

Just wanted to ping the list about a quick update I did to my 
leaderboard app this week that lets you look up your voting record and 
see how accurate your votes were. You can click on the numbers in the 
"Votes" column to see a user's voting record or you can get your own 
voting record by going to:

http://leaderboard.narphorium.user.dev.freebaseapps.com/acre/preview/voting_record?user=/user/ 
+ your_user_id
