My point was not that my Karma was low. It was that if 4 years of my posts and thanks and blogs here gives me 437, then 1 app should not be able to get 300 karma points unless it has been supported for 4 years. IMO
I would disagree; if a developer spent weeks/months _developing_ a application. That should be easily worth 300 points at the point it is a 5 star application. That is a lot of dedicated time spent making a polished application to get it to be a 5 star app that a lot of people are using.

If your talking a simple port; then yes I would not expect something like my kernel-module-cifs to be worth 300 points even though a lot of people want it/use it. It was a couple days of works; it should be worth at least a couple dozen posts worth of credit & thanks.

1 hour of forum support = 1 hour development time = 1 hour wiki editing.
Agreed, but it is hard to calculate 1 hour of each. Posts are counted "each". Wiki Edits are "each", applications are counted as the "whole" Should we count lines of code? ;-)
