Instead of a score, maybe it would be more useful to have a count of people's experiences. Here's a possible list:
* I use this package and like it * I use this package, but have problems with it * I used this package, but stopped because I found something better * I used this package, but stopped because it caused me too many problems * I used this package, but stopped because of reasons that don't reflect on the quality of the package * I tried to use this package, but couldn't get it working. That entirely leaves out people who haven't used the package at all, which seems fine. The descriptions are a bit long, not sure if anything can be done with that. Jesse Noller noted (from Zed?) that there's generally a bifurcation of votes -- either 5 or 0, depending on whether you love/hate the package. My proposal doesn't try to represent fine distinctions. Also it separates beginner problems that are blockers (which are what a lot of people's pithy complaints or 0's are from) from more substantive problems -- and both deserve to be represented, but just should be represented differently. -- Ian Bicking | http://blog.ianbicking.org | http://topplabs.org/civichacker
