Yes, we want to implement this:

Karma system should allow more e-mail addresses
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2212

We still don't know how difficult this is and when it will be done,
though. I guess it depends on the implementation and how reliable you
want to make it (from adding email addresses without further checking to
a way to claim them properly in a way that can be effectively identified
to your profile.

Henri is handling this.

For what I see people bury items not related to maemo, which is fair.
Posts exclusively about devices many times get zero input, sometimes
even buries if they are too commercial - which is also understandable. I
disagree that posts deeply related to programming get buries, now I
remember Dominic, Xan, INdT guys and others writing about hardcore stuff
and actually getting right to the top news. But they were posting about
programming languages and components with a clear link to the maemo
platform.

People burying posts give negative karma to the authors, yes. As getting
hearts gives positive karma. Makes sense.

If you bother about this I would recommend you to have a category or
section for maemo stuff and aggregate that one to the planet. If you
don't bother, then don't bother.  :)

That thing by the way applies to me too: I have my gmail address in
garage account, but write often to maemo-developers from my Nokia
address
and also from home sometimes from my gmail address. And then, I am
getting
thumbs down on planet.maemo always when I post something which is not
directly related to the current products (being 770, N800, N810) 
(which I presume reduces the karma?) or is too deeply related to e.g.

So with this setup, I don't care about karma, it will be terrible
anyway.

As a starting point, that sounds fine - it's certainly better than
nothing and provides a one-stop-shop for Maemo-related applications.
When it's in use, it'll be easier to see if/when/how to refactor it.

Do you want me to raise a bug in Bugzilla?

Maemo SDK VMware Appliance is also non-tablet.

Well, let's count them... the ones I know about are:

  * All the different media converters for various OSes/platforms (over half a
dozen, by my reckoning, including mediaserv)
  * The official Windows flasher
  * The maemo-provided command line flashers

Anybody working on anything else? I could envisage a GUI syncing tool

OS categories of Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X on top of the IT OS ones
would seem to make sense - if there're enough apps.

"Click to install" would need to link to a .exe, a tarball and/or a
.dmg respectively to be a fully-sensibly integrated system.

thanks for the answer (also to Riku and peter and klaus here that provided
live verbal feedback).

I got it working this morning and being a compiler, it doesn't interact much 
with
 the system, apart from some file I/O.

As a reference for others with similar issues, here's the WORKSFORME procedure:
- install qemu
- create a barebone debian arm image following the instructions from [1]
- download the tarball from the emulated arm system the free pascal from [2],
  by using any of the available mirrors _but_ sourceforge (it doesn't have the 
  arm version)
- untar and install as root with the shell script 
  no debian package available :-(


Then i proceded by installing "make" (it was missing from the basic 
installation)
and finally managed to compile the NBC compiler for Lego NXT by following its
instructions.

Later I'll make the binary available on garage.
It seems to work on n810 and there is no difference between bytecode generated 
with the x86
version of nbc and the ARM one.

Yep. We've been following Ohloh stats for the Midgard Project for a

It would. The only problem is that they only allow 1000 (IIRC) API
queries per day while we have 7000+ users to count karma for.

This means we need to split the users we have into some kind of
processing batches.

Anyway, for the different ideas for collecting karma: the karma system
in Midgard has a PHP plug-in API. I've already shown Ferenc how to do
plug-ins but I will also make a doc about it soon so others can help
us to expand the reach of the karma calculations.

Well, wait. It's for maemo and you can download it, so it should be

Adding a "PC" tab next to OS2008,7,6? Maybe this is too overdone if we

Adding them to the OS categories anyway, stating somehow/somewhere that

Yes, that's the problem. OTOH, if it's a relatively simple console

No, last time I looked gpc wasn't really delphi compatible, so it 
couldn't compile delphi/freepascal code without a lot of porting effort. 
Maybe things have changed now, I don't know.

As I said, having used delphi, and now lazarus, everything else seems

Actually pascal starts the arrays with whatever index you like: you can 
make them start at 0, at 1, at 100, at -100, at green.
I know that other, more limited ;-) languages, force the array 
boundaries on you, but that's not the case of pascal.

Ok. When I said the old days with TP, I meant the work flow. It was easy
to install, one key press to compile and one to generate a .exe file.
When I started with Maemo, this was the first time I fiddled with the
GNU autotools. Ok, I did that some time ago with some kde apps I wrote
(back in the KDE 1.xx days) but didn't use it later. I create my Zaurus
packages out of a single makefile. I did this also with my fractal
package (its SDL based) at garage, but unfortunately the source code is
lost. I wanted that as a example how to create .deb packages for Maemo
without the autotools. But not using autotools will cause problems in
uploading to the extras repository. 

BTW: I really like C, I am not really a fan of Pascal. My idea is to
bring fabrice bellards Tiny C Compiler
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/ to the N8xx series. There exists a
EABI backend for that. But therefor, I need some holidays. The TCC is
really fast but generates bad optimized code. But _on_ the device
compiling speed beats execution speed. The GCC is too fat to run nicely
on a N8xx. The N810 would be nice for that, because of its integrated
Keyboard. The TCC can directly compile to memory, so with a lightweight
Editor this would be a nice little programming environment.

Are you sure it's not your intention? :P

My experience is about freepascal and its primitives mysql and more
stuff units. You must write a lot of source code lines to do nothing
and you must depend that somebody implements mysql or gtk "units" to
use it with all of its new features. I think pascal is a good learning
language, but C/C++, Java or C# has a very powerfull IDEs and all the
APIs are supported. There are not pascal job vacancies.

ok, so maybe you can help me: I'm trying to get the NBC compiler 

http://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nbc/

working on the tablet.

Currently i'm stuck with having source code for Delphi/FreePascal and
not being able to compile it since (to the best of my knowledge)
FreePascal only supports ABI, not EABI.

GPC would be a much better alternative since it basically can generate
executables for whatever is supported by the backend of gcc.

So, is this attempt reasonable? Do you use gpc on the tablet?


BTW, Kdevelop is not that bad an IDE, albeit Konsolle + VIM + cscope is

It's not my intention to start a language flame war >:-) but
evidently you never heard of delphi and lazarus. It's sad that the 
"pascal" word is automatically associated to a clumsy, outdated language 
by most developers, since, while lazarus is not 100% mature, being 
modelled after delphi it blows away anything else for database and gui 
development (at least under linux, where there's no other comparable 
product).
In fact, having started (real time) pascal development a long time ago, 
followed through to delphi and now using freepascal and lazarus when I 
can, I find the various C/C++/Java/whatever development environments 
really primitive (unsurprisingly, since they're only now trying to do 
what borland already did almost 15 years ago).

For a moment I read your "want" as a "went", and thought that finally 
someone found a way to use freepascal (I also only got the "Pascal" part 
without the "turbo";-) with the tablet. Then I re-read more carefully :-(

Hi,

Let me tell something clear: the 770 and N800 device programs were
executed without much complaints from your side. Expect results at least
as good in the N810 maemo device program. You filed your submissions,
you provided your reasons... that's all you need. The karma, yes, is a
tool that also helps us deciding. But your submission and yourself is
what counts - you can't change now ;) so there are no reasons to worry.
Unless you enjoy worrying, of course.  :)

Don't worry about karma. In fact don't worry about maemo. maemo is about
enjoying, not worrying.  :)

If the karma system helped you yesterday pushing your app to extras and
reviewing your metadata in the Bomberman page at Downloads, then karma
was already good for you.

Yes, due to the Downloads side effects.

As said before in this list, this karma system is an ongoing effort. We
still have to gather data from Garage/Gforge. What is more important
though is that we count downloads from... Downloads and we plan to take
into account downloads from the extras repository. Directing users to
Garage is not something we recommend.

Dunno, others are getting their software to extras. Again, please file a
bug and provide there all the details so we can give you an answer..

Also as said, the quick fix is to modify your email address in your
bugzilla profile to make it match with your maemo.org address. We are
looking at the possibility of claiming more email addresses as suggested
by Frantisek and others, but this won't be done right now.

Ok... what is the "karma" useful for? I didn't get the point. Is it 
important to have a high karma (at maemo.org)? If it is just that I 
would feel better I can live without it...

I looked at my karma, felt bad ;), found it somewhat poor and tried to 
raise it.

1) My bomberman project at downloads seems to have no pictures (it once 
had pictures!) and no mention that I created it. I wanted to fix both. I

2) It seems that downloads in garage aren't counted. Why?
3) To get rid of 2), I tried to load up bomberman to the extras

have a chinook dev enviroment set up, so I tried to install bora beside 
it. This should really go to the How-Tos. Well, 
http://inz.fi/blog/2007/10/22/multi-target-development-for-maemo/
helped a little bit. So I build packages for chinook (armel and
i386+src) and a package for bora (just armel) and loaded them up. They 
didn't show up. Maybe I did something wrong or it will take some time 
for them to show up.
4) My bugzilla activities aren't counted also. O.k., there are _few_,

Finally after 4 hours of fiddeling I want the old days with my old

Few days ago I changed my email in maemo profile and garage account to 
be the same as the one I use for mailing list and still have 0 in

>

Having same e-mail account everywhere is not very nice. Please consider 
allowing more of them. At least mailing list vs rest (maemo profile, 
garage). Mailing list has relatively high volume so people may want to 
handle it differently. Currently I changed it to be the same (mainly to 
test it and see how much points it will give me) but I don't plan to 
keep it that way. Also more addresses would be useful to allow future 
changes. I suppose if one changes e-mail for sending messages to the 
list, his karma for list will start from scratch, right?

Overall this karma thing may be useful to push people to be more active 
so this looks like good thing. It may also result in worse quality vs 
quantity ratio in blogs, mailing list etc. Let's see how much of cheap 
karma hunting we'll get.

Henri,

my maemo address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also have an bugzilla account with that

Do you have any suggestion what to do?

I'm trying to work out if it's a problem when your most used
applications aren't actually on the tablet itself, so definitely don't
appear in the Application Catalog.

In this circumstance, I could move svn from my own Subversion server
to garage (I *am* thinking of creating a "Media Utils" project hosting
mediaserv and a renamed 770-encode), and that this would "help" my
karma (amongst the other benefits it'd get, like being patch tracking
etc.)

Otherwise I'm "stuck" with doing what I'm doing now, which is earning
karma through blog posts which get favourited - which might well be
fine.

Indeed. I suppose the *real* question that nobody has asked yet, is
how much is the karma going to weigh in on device programmes, both
current and future?

Prestige and ego are fine things, but we all like cheap, shiny, new gadgets ;-)

I imagine it'd be trivally possible to extract post count from ITT -
suitably weighted within the karma system for the lack of any quality
metric on those posts.

Andrew

Ok my bad cheating should not have been #1. As we are not in a competition, it 
really doesn't matter, and I fear this clouded my point a bit. 

Premise: The Karma system is intended to give a bit of prestige to people who 
contirbute. Basically karma systems use ego to persue the common good, in 
this case more maemo content. 

When applied to the wiki it means that it is better* to create new pages then 
update another page. The worst thing you can do in a wiki is create a page 
that is almost like another. No one knows which is right or wrong or new or 
old. Wiki's tend to becomes very cluttered very quickly. 

I understand the huge compute power to compute karma based on edits. I also 
understand the desire to hang the karma carrot in front of the wiki, but  I 
feel that wiki karma will do the opposite as its intent. I think it will 
begin to dilute the qualitry of the wiki.


That said. It does not solve world peace so I won't waste much bandwidth. I 
rellay appreciae all the efforts Qim and Nokia have put into this communtity. 

Thanks
Brian

The problem is this: in the product page it says "Submitted by
", meaning that you're not marked as the application author in
the database.

I've now marked you as the author, so karma should come by tomorrow morning.

If you are author of an application in the app catalog but not marked
as such, go to the app page and click "edit metadata", and add
yourself as the author.

What about applications that are not hosted in garage but are listed in the

Henri can provide details, but basically the problem with wiki edits is
that processing all of them takes just too much time (and resources?)

On the other hand, if cheating by creating new wiki pages is easy, it is
not more difficult to cheat with wiki edits. It's also easy to cheat
with ranks, favs and buries. Not that difficult to cheat sending emails
to mailing lists. Even creating Garage projects. And even creating
Downloads pages about products that are just command line tools

As said, as for today most of the flesh is put on the success in
Downloads and in this sense it doesn't matter where are your commits as
far as your app has an entry in the application catalog and is receiving
good rates.

We can't create a perfect karma system and we don't even pretend to do
that. Any value can be tricked, any function can be improved and so on.

As a principle it makes sense that a maemo.org karma analyzes better
what is going on in *.maemo.org and puts more weight on that. You can
still be totally active in your own infrastructure and/or in ITt, SF,
upstream projects etc without putting a foot directly in *.maemo.org

Still people can rate your apps & news if you took care to aggregate
them to maemo.org. More can be done if we can extract data from i.e. ITt
or Ohloh.net. Let's see how all this progresses.

Please do not count wiki creates unless you can count edits too. Adding wiki 
creates causes some issues:
1) It is easy to create useless pages for karma gobbling
2) It makes the creation of a new page more 'desirable' than fixing an old out 
of date page. Which in-turn disorganizes the wiki
3)It is too easy to just throw up information that is wrong/not enough and 
does not benefit the real troppers who updatre wiki pages. 

Being a project admin myself, I find the real heroes are the people who fix 
the wiki, not the ones who create the page in the first place. Keeping a wiki 
up-to-date is hard and a group effort. 
I reccommend we dgive karma to editors also, or no one at all with respect to 
the wiki.


Just my luriking 2 cents.

Re: About the upcoming maemo user karma

2007-11-01 Thread Jesse Guardiani
I'm probably just being thick, but what is it exactly that we're tracking?
SVN commits? Forum posts?
Programmer Hawtness factor? :)

All jokes aside, if it's SVN commits that we're tracking, we could always do
a post-commit hook...

Unless we figure out some way to get the stats :-)

Ohloh is an option...

Does that mean that projects hosted mostly off garage will receive less

Check https://bugs.maemo.org/userprefs.cgi when you are logged in to
bugzilla. You can change your email address there.

Sounds like a plan. BTW, does this mean there will be a
service/tool/favor to change/update our email adresses in the
bugzilla? Should be easy compared to updating the mailing list
archives.

While the algorithm is still being tuned and maemo team is adding more
karma calculation plugins, you can see the current "top contributors"
list in:

http://maemo.org/profile/list

Karma (with details on where it came from) is available in a profile
page. For example:

http://maemo.org/profile/view/bergie

Your own karma is also in:

https://maemo.org/profile/

There will be recount every night, so once you have linked your
garage, bugzilla, maemo.org and mailing list accounts together (mostly
by using a consistent email address everywhere), your stats will start
to show up nicely.

Comments welcome, as always :-)

/Henri

PS: The karma system was developed as a quite generic Midgard module.
See the logic in
http://trac.midgard-project.org/browser/trunk/midcom/net.nehmer.account

Plugins can be developed independently of the actual module and we're
happy to receive ideas of potential karma data sources.
