It's not possible to report without typing, and ratings without
the typed information as to why the user gave the app that rating
would be at best useless (Why is this silver? What doesn't work?),
and at worst misleading. "False platinums" in particular are
already a big problem: users give an app a platinum rating, but
list tweaks they applied (so it really should be gold) or things
that didn't work (so it really should be silver). Admins and
maintainers need that typed information to assess whether a rating
is correct.
I fully understand, so reporting is way complicated without typing...
Well its just a thought but maybe we should consider simplifying the
whole process, maybe this way more data will be collected.
Yaron:
As a maintainer of several applications, I want to know about
improvements/regressions of all functions in those applications. Thus,
I ask those who use the products I maintain to provide details 'What
Works' and 'What Does Not Work' and these must be, for the present time,
in English. Sorry, but English is the "Universal" language. The boxes,
for now, should stay.
There are many 'drop down' menus that it would be nice to input Hebrew
and have English populate them. Would this be a good idea?
