Hi Rob,
maybe it has other reasons like missing access to the former OOo login
on the Apache infrastructure eg. one thing that went wrong with my OOo
account.
There could be several reasons for this:
1) Older issues are better issues because they were entered by smarter
people. But then the linear trend is then odd. Did people become
less smart in such a regular way over the years?
2) Older issues have been around longer so they have had a longer
opportunity to be voted on. This very naturally would explain a
linear trend.
3) Users have become less interested in or aware of voting. But
again, it hard to explain the gradual linear trend. Why for example,
would users in 2010 entering an issue not even vote for their own
issue 90% of the time, but in 2002 nearly half of those issues
received votes?
In any case, this is one reason why I take the old vote counts cum
grano salis. For whatever reason the votes are biased toward older
issues.
Kind regards, Joost
