Hey, it's so bad that thp pulled back ahead of me! And thoughtfix, who is off on other things, is back ahead of qole!

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Apparently the new scoring scheme really really likes bloggers, and since your bug jars count as blogs... :D

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Sheesh, and just this morning I was explaining to someone that I don't have a blog.

Well, I'm sure this will touch off the next round of karma formula refinements. There's no way my name can be left there above those who do real work.

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Oh quit with the humility. Your bug reporting is extremely valuable, and if it isn't automated, is something that would make me nuts doing.

But back to...

I do love the irony. :D

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Ouch, man, that stings. Bugzilla sure took a beating. Not in love with the fact that the top 10 Bugzilla contributors in bug reports and comments earned only 1188 karma between them. While the top 10 bloggers have earned 7249 karma between them in a single category, and the top 10 Talk contributors in Thanks! and posts have earned 5601 between them.

Oh well.

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Well, that's a bug among others it seems, we didn't proposed any alteration to bugzilla karma, nor for favs that is also very low.

Also there was a bug with the blogs karma, we reduced it (now max.10p) and guess what my blog karma is suddenly 3 times more :( oh my.

Perhaps the blogs metrics need to be revised :D

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Here's another one that ought to be revised, and why not completely removed: Groups!

The first one in that list has 162 group karma points, and those are all of his karma points.

Also, if you look at jakunnar's profile, you'll notice that he has 0.7 karma points from favourites, however they're not counted in his total...

Not that I'm asking karma points be revised to take tenths and hundredths in the final number, but 0.7 is closer to one than it is to 0, so why not 163 karma points?

If it is so easy to get karma points through groups, I'm going to start making a list and request to join every single group on garage... If not, what's the interest? It doesn't count contributions, just membership, which is worthless; so why not remove it outright?

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

I totaly agree with you. The bugzilla contributions seem to count much less and other forms of contribution are counted to much.

If I have a look into my actual karma count I see:
82 point for t.m.o thanks
89 points for mediawiki edits
64 point for bugs reported in bugzilla

If I ask myself how I invest my spare time into mamo.org I would answer I am using 70% of time to report and handle bugs and I also invest much more time into t.m.o than into edit pages in the wiki.

Beside of this I think a wiki edit is more worth than a t.m.o.

All in all bug reporting / triaging should bring more points. I don't need much karma points but there should be a signal to everyone who is willing to invest time into th maemo community: "Reporting bugs is important and a good way to get karma points." At the moment the signal is: "Post as much as you can to t.m.o."

Just my 2 cent...err karma points :)

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Please, this is a bug as I said no need to make a storm around that, I can't fix it otherwise would be fixed for sure:).

Re: Sprint task: Refine the karma system (community input requested)
 

Ooops, you are right and you already wrote it. I'll write to the blackboard for hundred times: "I will read all posts following the post I'll answer to before I write an answer!" :)

Ciao jukey
