Obviously the YMMV is really variable. But I stand with my own opinion ;-)

Some contributors are really happy with their badges, this is not a TDF
work, but it's done by the ASK bot.

What Mike is doing is different, he his prominently displaying the names
of the contributors and send them (if they want) a sticker to thank them
for their contributions. And I've seen many of the contributors happy
and proud with their stickers, there is a fair collection of their
feedback on the social media.

I'm often wondering what this badge/reward thing is all about. Who cares 
? My contribution to mailing lists is not meant for any reward at all. 
If a user wants to say "thanks", so be it, that's all. Second, I'm more

answers and to say thanks (even though I happen to forget...), so

Re: [libreoffice-users] Why are the people who answer users' questions are not getting counted?

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
+1
and +1 to Girvin's point about wanting to repay, or "pay it forward" for
the help I've been given or continue to get.

I really like this mailing list and the people on it.  There are a lot of
good people giving good answers, welcoming people in and encouraging debate
and chats - and occasionally "mentioning" other LO teams that might be
interesting to get involved with.

I don't know how it might be possible to quantify or rank the different
types of contributions made by the different types of posts.

It might be easier if answers could be "up voted" or marked as having
answered the question, and that might help people searching through the
archives to solve a specific question but that only deals with a very
narrow range of what makes this mailing list so great.  I don't think it'd
be possible to quantify the other aspects.

The Documentation Team has kinda transformed a lot in the last couple of
years but I still think the main advantage of getting involved with it is
how much you learn by being involved and getting to know the people
involved there as colleagues.

Regards from
a Tom :)

Re: [libreoffice-users] Why are the people who answer users' questions are not getting counted?

[Mike Saunders]

Hi Tim, and everyone else who helps out on the list,

First of all, thanks very much for your contributions and assistance
here! You weren't being deliberately ignored at all -- I just have a
specific list of data sources that I use for awarding the stickers in
the Month of LibreOffice:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Month_of_LibreOffice#Data_sources

The idea is that the sources are quick and easy to check, so I can
update the wiki page at the start of each day without spending hours
poring through data. For the "Answering questions from users" section, I
simply hadn't considered this users@ list -- so that's my fault. But
again, it's nothing deliberate, and I will add this to the data sources
for the next Month of LibreOffice:

https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/

Thanks for understanding, and if anyone who's active here in helping
users wants a sticker, simply send me an email with your address and
I'll put one in the post! And thanks again for your work :-)

Cheers,
Mike

Which is not true, this is one of the most important missions for TDF to
recognize the work done in all the areas of the LO and DLP projects.

Why Olivier has been contracted then? He is helping and welcoming each

project.

I don't use ask, only doing moderation on it, but the fact that it give
credits to the users there was one of the most important feature to
choose it.

Their are some areas on the project where it's very difficult to reward
the contributors, we are aware of it. It's also the case for example for
the l10n team where Pootle doesn't reflect external contributions.


@all, so to be positive, what could be and should be the way to count
people giving support on all the users' mailing lists in the project?
Nabble could give some help and I'll see with Mike if it's possible to
integrate it to his badge system. Would there be other ways or other
area that seems to be not supported?

Cheers
Sophie

Re: [libreoffice-users] Why are the people who answer users' questions are not getting counted?

[Girvin Herr]

Hi Tom,

I prefer the email-based mailing list because I get all the messages 
posted. From my experience on web-based forums, I will get, maybe, one 
email message about a new thread and then nothing. With them, I must 
keep polling the website and searching for new threads and/or messages 
regularly. It's a pain. I'm sorry, I don't have time for that. So I keep 
using this email list forum. It is more convenient for me.


As far as the recognition goes, this thread is the first I heard of any 
"rewards" for posting help for user problems. I don't expect any reward 
for my help to others. My reward is helping others as payback for all 
the help I got in the past and future from this forum.

I don't know why the Ask 'Bot' thing is different.  It was a new and

Re: [libreoffice-users] Why are the people who answer users' questions are not getting counted?

Hi :)
There is nothing new in this.

People providing User Support or Technical Support through these mailing
lists have never been recognised as being a useful part of TDF or the
LibreOffice community.

Similarly the Documentation Team and some others get no recognition nor
support from TDF.

So there is no reason to expect any of these mailing lists to close or
change at all.


I don't know why the Ask 'Bot' thing is different.  It was a new and
'trendy' thing that users were allegedly finding much more normal and
easier to use.  Many of the people doing the actual work of answering
questions found it painful because there was no way for them to chat or
help each other out so it was difficult to build-up team spirit or learn
from each other and so on.  So it's a very desolate and isolating system
that is not much fun for volunteers.

Another advantage here is that we sometimes get feedback on the quality of

One thing I saw was the fact that people who help others in this list 
is not counted for claiming badges. I do not use "Ask LibreOffice", 
yet, that is the only place to help users if you want to claim a 
badge. As I said, I do not use Ask LibreOffice, just the email list 
service. There are a lot people here that help users.  I do not know 
how many of these users are answering these questions over the ones 
who answering on Ask LibreOffice.


If only the people using Ask LibreOffice get recognized for helping 
others, it seems to me that people who help others on this list are 
not counted as helping others.  Are these lists no longer the place 
to help users and will be dropped soon? That is the only way I can 
get my head around the fact that the helpers are not counted in the 
"badge page" https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Badges/2017-11

A smile - is a sign of joy.
A hug - is a sign of love.
A laugh - is a sign of happiness.
And a friend like me??
...that's just a sign of good taste!!
