Oh I didn't mean to slap up a poll today. I am for a healthy discussion but not for a few guys to go away with it for a few months and come up with what they think is the best options for the community. I say flush it all out in open discussion - then vote.

- is there an equivalence to maemo.org account on the moblin side?

Please note where I said both maemo.org and Moblin organization accounts.

I am against it.

Not really , just wanted to say that.

Back to the topic, I think karma should be calculated in different way than it is currently with maemo (Like excluding posts/thanks from karma or reducing its value might be better for the long run for meego community). Also, I suggest to give power for moderators to reward people whom doing great works for meego. Like giving some one 100+ karma as a bounce for his work rather than letting people posts 1,000,000 times on the forum about ridiculous duplicated subjects to earn "thanks/karma". In other words, I am suggesting a controlled karma.

Does the Karma system need a value?

Really. Qgil, you, the Admins, Mods, Nokia, Intel or someone else can Rank a User the way you want. Thanked posts, bugzilla, and so one. It's not so important.

But like the MHz Value on a Prozessor or the MegaPixel on a customer digicam. When users get involved more and try to help each other because of advancing their karma stocks the system is worth and does what it should do.

Pay the users in Points for helping each other! :) (it's simple, but it works in some ways) :D

Hmm... could we have here a kind of ultimate social network game? :rolleyes:

Believe or not karma/activity metrics encourage participation/activity, that's one of the reasons for the success of some social web services, they have a metric system that encourage some kind of competition, there's a couple of interesting studies that prove that.

In my opinion the gains of a karma system are bigger than the losses, so yes, we should have some similar concept.

PS- For those interested in these topics about social interaction in the web, like me, here's a cool presentation: http://www.slideshare.net/stephenpa/...dea-09-version

(+1 on the entire post). Also, if maemo.org karma were to vanish tomorrow would we lose anything important?

No need for groups, brainstorming, etc - just vote.

Consensus is superior to tyranny of the majority.
