Questions about PVP rating system

I've read a lot about the new PVP ratings system, and I have a rough idea of how it works, but I have a few questions about the specifics. Does anyone know where there is a detailed description of how it exactly works?
Specifically:
1) Do leavers lose rating when they leave?
2) If leavers don't lose rating when they leave, do they lose rating if the team they deserted loses?
3) Do teams who had leavers who lost still lose rating points?
4) Is there a minimum or maximum rating?
5) If there is a minimum/maximum, where are new players placed before they play any matches?
6) Does the number of points you get in a match have any effect on your rating change?
7) Is there any place to view your rating? Either in hard numbers or in relation to other people.
8) I understand that you gain less points for beating a team with a much lower rating than you, and lose less for losing to a team much stronger. Is there ever a point when you gain/lose 0 points?
9) This should have been up after #5, but I remembered it later and didn't want to renumber things. Do players who have a high loss/win ratio rank lower than new players?
10) Does rating move from bracket to bracket? For example, if someone achieved a rating at lower levels, and then hit 60. Does there rating stick around or do they start fresh?
11) When calculating who to match against who, is the average counted alone, or is there an attempt to minimize the variance in rating within teams?
12) I've read that the number of people queuing together would add a multiplier to the rating of said group. Is this true?
13) Is there any damping effect, so that older games count less than more recent games?
14) Does gear score have any effect?
15) In the future, will the developers use trends based on where classes end up based on this ratings system to figure out which class to buff/nerf?
I understand that this information might not be readily available, but it's interesting to think about, and someone might have seen something that I missed. I'd appreciate it greatly if anyone has any of the answers.
By the way, moderators, if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it!
Thanks!
