[Typo3-typo3org] Rating of extensions

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi list,

I had a lunch talk with a few TYPO3 guys and we discussed extension rating. I 
distilled some guidelines for how it should work. Any comments? Anyone 
working actively on this?

User Ratings of extensions:
- Rating with 1-5 stars and comment
- Extension Author can comment a rating to counter bias or misunderstandings.
- Other users can rate a rating (agree/don't agree). This reflects on the 
authors global credibility on the site?
- Ratings and reviews can be given only from the Extension Manager! This 
secures that people actually installed the extensions (and hopefully tested 
it). And it makes it easy to rate it!
- Rating average is shown only after the first five ratings are given. If an 
extension has received 1-4 ratings it is put into the "Jacuzzy" meaning it is 
"upcoming" and needs some more ratings before it will appear. Point: Secure 
an unbiased set of initial ratings.
- Suggest ratings to address issues like "How was a) documentation, b) 
installation phase, c) daily usage"?
