The first version of Karma plugin is out on Connect. Users can add the karma widget from the widget gallery, it might take a minute to load, because karma updates if you view your widget the first time or every hour after that.
Also, Karma fetches your activities on twitter, planet openSUSE and Novell's Bugzilla. Starting from now, Karma rewards you for your previous 5 tweets, and each of your posts that appear on planet openSUSE in the last 3-4 days and then onwards and all of your resolved bugs on Bugzilla.
There are certain things that you might notice when using the plugin, first as I wrote it might take a minute to load if karma was updated more than an hour ago. Then, only your previous 5 tweets are rewarded for, so If you tweeted about opensuse way back in the past, I'm afraid it might not be counted. Also do not forget to use the hashtag (#openSUSE) for tweets to be rewarded, and its case insensitive :D
Those of you who have aggregated their blog feeds on Planet OpenSUSE but haven't mentioned their blog url on their Connect profile, will not be rewarded, same goes for Lizards blog. Though rectifying this is in the pipeline, but not now.
Please check it out, let me know if you like it or even if you dislike it completely, I think I can do something about that. :)
It does not seem to load for me...
ReplyDeleteDo I contribute too much or too little? :D
Hehe, no that is not the case. The thing is that, when you view your karma widget, it checks how long ago your karma was updated, if its more than an hour then it updates again. So it takes a little time to fetch all that data. I guess you should wait a little then refresh again.
ReplyDeleteALso, I would recommend you to edit you profile and instead of giving your twitter profile url in the "twitter" field( http://twitter.com/jospoortvliet), you should give your twitter handle "@jospoortvliet".
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThis is a widget in openSUSE Connect, right? I can't see how to add the widget? Where is the widget gallery??
Thank's for your work for the community!
Yes it is. You can click on the button titled "Edit Page" which you can find on your dashboard and your profile. This will display a widget gallery on the right hand side. Then you can select the karma widget. But I'm afraid currently it is not working, and I'm trying to solve the issue.
