[Babase] Ranker wish for speeding female ranks

Susan /Lacey/Karl/Jun,

This is just as a follow-up/placeholder for the ranker discussions we 
are having this week. 

The Princeton/Female protocol we currently use means that doing a year's 
worth of ranks can often take up to a month.  Jeanne asked it there was 
anything that could be done to speed this process and I said "YES".  I 
have on my 'wish list' the automated extraction of rank reversals and/or 
dyad interactions so that I don't have to look all these up by hand.  
I've discussed this with Karl once before, and included it on the 
"Ranker Needs" document I sent out earlier to Jun.  I understand this 
wish is manageable from a programming standpoint.

Although we have to get some basic functions in Ranker worked out, 
Jeanne asked me to flag this as a priority for the time when we can 
think about increasing the efficiency of the program.

Thanks,

Tabby
