[Desktop-packages] [Bug 881890] Re: the average rating problem
So, thanks for the suggestion, but I'm marking this as Won't Fix for the reason I alluded to in my previous comment. We plan to order items by number of users in a Most Downloaded section, because two distinct ways of exposing interesting things is better than one. Once we do that, Making Top Rated partly dependent on the number of users would make the two sections unnecessarily similar. And the perfect is not the enemy of the good here, because the hard part -- knowing the relative popularity of each item -- would be the same level of difficulty for either solution. ** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/881890 Title: the average rating problem Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: steps to reproduce: 1. launch Ubuntu Software Store 2. by the right of Best Rated, there's a More button that shows you the top 50 Best Rated apps in Ubuntu Software Store expected results: since many people are interested in using Firefox and few people are interested in using Renmina, Firefox should appear above Renmina actual results: although many people are interested in using Firefox and few people are interested in using Renmina, Firefox appears *way* below Renmina, in other words, Firefox isn't even a top 50 app, but Renmina is a top 10 app comments: Firefox browses the internet well, Renmina connects to remote desktops excellently Firefox does what its author says that it does well, Renmina does what its author says that it does excellently quality shows you how well an app does what the app's author says that the app does many people are interested in using Firefox and few people are interested in using Renmina popularity shows you how many people are interesting in using an app if I create an app that does something that few people want to do, but my app does that thing excellently, it will be a top 10 app like Renmina is quality (stars) * popularity (users) = importance (points), anyone?
