You meant Factory, right? :-) 13.1 is frozen, no new packages. With Factory, it has to go through devel project, but that is automatically discoverable as well... So I would change what you are checking against slightly ;-) Ehm, that as well! Terrible example but yes, factory :)
If I have a higher karma, and a package thats not in my target, it should offer it as well, and explanations on karma should be clearly visible, with tips on improving it.
I karma thread some people complained that they don't want to have a karma and it were not people that would have bad karma...
So if my package is a duplicate, it could hint that by branching the factory package, (via metadata knowledge) I could improve my karma, instead of having my little world over in home:bobhasnofriends.
Well, branching is the same as having private world, what is different is sending stuff back :-) Indeed, need to encourage send-back..
Karma should be linked both to branch contributions, merged requests of new packages (lets try to link home:'s and branching, its too separate right now) and
You lost me here :-) Ok, so if I have 10 contributions accepted (branched) I have 100 points, etc. Karma directly related to repo actions. Also, I'm Irish. It's

the system should be helpful in encouraging a contribution back to main. Essentially, OBS should be viewed in a new light: Work on your packages until they're good enough for submission to the main repository.
Yep, agree!
Awesome :)
