Karma weekly report and minor fixes.


This is my report for the last week, developing the Karma plugin for Connect.

There are 2 things I have added to karma in the last week. First off, Karma widget shows who all gave away kudos to you. For each kudo, there is one extra point added to your score. Also, each user can give away only a limited amount of kudos in a day, which is maximum of, 2 or whatever multiple of 500 your total score is.


Next, Karma widget also shows user rank. This is the rank of a user based on total karma score attained. This rank is purely score based irrespective of whether karma is developer or marketing type. I have kept the Rank calculation also a part of the cron script, so that means ranks are calculated every 5  minutes.


Also, during this time Marguerite Su, chinese wiki admin pointed out that wiki score calculated during karma score updation didn't include localed wikis. So I corrected the wiki and planet openSUSE part to include localed wiki and global posts.


I also fixed some minor bugs with wiki score calculation and kudos calculation.

I have started off with the documentation, though not much has been done, I  will now concentrate solely on that.

  1. What's the status of your connect plugin.
    Recently a feature request was made on openFATE (https://features.opensuse.org/313229). Add yourself as developer there.

  2. Hi Akash, Glad you're interested in the Karma plugin. It was my GSOC project and I could not continue working on it post GSOC. Would you like to collaborate?

  3. I wish I could. Right now I'm non-technical contributor to opensuse-project. But, you can find other developers who will be willing to collaborate with you. Just go to https://features.opensuse.org/313229 or mail at mailinglist opensuse-project@opensuse.org
    FYI the openSUSE board is looking for a tool to gauge the contributions. So it's nice time to get noticed by openSUSE board. Your work has already got notice actually. Somebody mentioned your work on https://features.opensuse.org/313229. That's how I came to know about your work.
