[TYPO3-ect] Extension Rating System and Reviews Status

[R. van Twisk]

Hey guy,

maybe this has been said before, I don't know,
but below my idea.

I think the best way to kick off with this is simply
with user comments and some simple rating questions like
1) Quality of documentation
2) Easy of installation
3) Uses external templates.
Any user comment belongs to some version of a extension (
so they can be filtered if needed).


I have tried many many extensions now in the past,
some did the work perfectly, others not.

For Example: Last week I found
this beautiful autologin extension, great!!! However
it uses XLASSING and breaks completely auth Services which I am using.
So I had to un-install and delete the extension. (The version test in V4
doesn't help much, actually not at all.....)

Now I would like a method to post a comment of my user experience.

This will benefits greatly and help the community amazingly well.
This will also help the extension writer to get faster and more feedback.

The above method (IMHO) will help
1) increasing the quality of extensions because extension writers don't 
like in general bad reviews.
2) Help people selecting extension because of the reviews.


Creating such a extension so we can review extensions shouldn't be 
rocked science.
Just a fill in form, ask some ratings and voila. Show them method and a 
filter method.

kinds regards,
Ries
