Figure out how to assign rating priors

[brilee]

Stupid simple solution is to pick [30k?], which makes sense to most people. Perhaps there's something fancy we could do with our integrators.

can we set it to the rating we fetch when we verify their e-mail?

That sounds like a reasonable way to start, assuming that's in the AGA membership api results. I can verify if it is.

Yep, AGA membership API returns both rating and sigma. I wonder whether the ratings math we're using accepts an initial sigma, and whether that sigma would be honored (in terms of how much weight the initial rating is given). @amj would you happen to know?

The sigma's would not be transferrable or relevant -- we actually will have
a sigma-less system.
