Karma rewards Wiki Edits


This my report of the work done in the past few days.


Another feature that has been added to the karma plugin is rewarding people on making Wiki edits. Karma fetches all wiki edits made by each user on Connect using their username and rewards them. Starting from the last 10 wiki edits, all are rewarded. For now there isn't any criteria to judge the significance of each wiki edit, because since openSUSE wiki is aimed at providing information regarding openSUSE and its distribution so each one is important to openSUSE and deserves to be rewarded.


During the past few days I also played with the existing karma widget a little, now it gives more information regarding the user's score, why a certain badge is awarded to you and what percentage of the maximum score is your score. I realized all these details wouldn't be of any use to others who are viewing your profile so I have segregated who sees what and made these details available only to the owner of the Karma.


After my mentor reviews the work done till now,  next I'll work on documentation and allow karma statistics to be available through Connect's API.
