It seems like it combines two separate things: - Application - How/where it gets built Not quite. It requires that the installation of an application provides an optional OCS-compliant url for feedback. I'd rather see an entity separate from OBS as the starting point of a rating/comment system. Why? I'm talking about making the OBS support a standard API, not the other way around. This idea would allow the OBS to be replaced as "keeper of ratings" but in the meantime may also allow us some efficiency in reducing the number of systems we have to develop and support. The OBS already provides: * PPA -like repos * Extras-devel -like projects * Extras -like projects * per-package file storage (think screenshots) * ratings system * integration with MeeGo user account system It doesn't provide a comment system. Applications built with any system would reside there (including proprietary applications built in someones basement). This doesn't preclude that at all; provided the basement builder provides an OCS API somewhere. MeeGo community does provide a community build system.. the OBS ... which, as you say, needs to support rating/feedback somehow. The OBS has a rating system... no-brainer (well, at least as a potential solution).

[MeeGo-dev] OBS, MeeGo and the social desktop : Application information, feedback and rating
This is more of an initial exploration than a concrete proposal :) I'll post this to both the opensuse-buildserv...@opensuse.org and meego-dev@meego.com lists. MeeGo is going to be using the Open Collaboration Services (OCS) API. http://www.socialdesktop.org/ocs/ http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/open-collaboration-services One of the features of this is to provide feedback and ratings from the device/desktop to the application development team. MeeGo's community OBS will be used for developers to manage their applications and I was interested in the concept of using the OBS API to support this. The api already provides some rating services so it seems to fit in somewhere. https://api.obs.maemo.org/apidocs/#107 As I say, the use-case is something around providing feedback from the application launcher on the device; maybe an on-device popup that allows a star rating, comment etc that is linked back to the appropriate OBS package and team. So does this fit with the intended usage around the 'rating' type services already in the OBS?
