The motivations for being a jerk in Launchpad are primarily spamming a link to your Web site, or being outraged that a particular bug hasn't been resolved the way you prefer. Those are much lower stakes than app reviews. A system that works for the former won't necessarily scale to the latter. > I see these sorts of worries as a sign I'm on the right track. > Building a full system for reviews and meta-reviews and bugs and > comments and whatnot is a huge job.

I'm not trying to slow you down here. Code for meta-reviews already exists in Ubuntu Software Center and the Ratings and Reviews Server. <https://code.launchpad.net/rnr-server> Adapt that, rather than jury-rigging a new system based on a developer-centric Web site. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlSzkP8ACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecr8CQCglVZ3d6e2/c77t1OI2fYVGzdx uIoAn2rC2XTthxL/QHtgHumpNptrX0Pc =ddPB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
