I think there is a mis-match
Hi Jos,
where would be the mis-match ? please could you explain where&how?
Well, your email below makes it pretty clear. You talk about Karma, I do not.
I don't want karma, just like everybody else here. I want to increase the visibility of people's work but that is an entirely different thing and the talk about Karma gets in the way of that.
Glad to see you changed your direction :)
I listen. Moreover, I am more than happy to admit I was wrong - I did a bit of reading up (and more talking with ppl about) the top-ten lists and yeah, that seems like a bad idea. So as far as I'm concerned, that is out.x A single karma score was never something I thought made sense, this is, well, call it a communication issue. The term 'karmafication' just sounds cool so I thought we should keep it in ;-) I also think I made clear that as far as karma-ish things go, I always wanted to use this only in areas where new people come in - like guiding contributors through the first steps of contributing. Compare it a bit with http://www.duolingo.com/ for example (I now am learning Portugese with their android app and it's cool :D). It also might make sense in a few other areas like wiki and such. But I always have been and still am critical about its effects on more experienced contributors. Anyway. For now, I'm ok to drop all Karma stuff and just start with improvements like commenting on OBS projects, showing the nr of downloads, stuff like that. See where it goes and at all times - be prepared to remove stuff again if it causes issues. I hope you will all now stop banging on my head :D Hugs, /J
Later, Robert
