Great to hear. > A:a way to change the script type afterwards (because Bram had to do this > manually using SQL) Is the script type of any use at all as long as vim.org's search function doesn't work and we have to use google to search it? > C:an opt-in collaboration feature: You can add other users as collaborators > to > your scripts which means that they can change the description and upload > new > versions as well (This is similar to what can be done on github) I'd say only one person should be responsible for maintaining the info on vim.org.

E.g. older versions should IMHO have less weight when calculating the over-all value. This would also solve/attenuate the problem with downvotes for older versions. I think you'd only have to store one value for previous votes + a current one and then let the over-all value be something like curr + prev * 0.8 or so. And maybe multiply all kharma points with 0.8 every year. > 2) force users to give a reason if they vote something down.

With comments comes the burden of administration and deleting spam. If comments on votes don't suffice, I'd rather redirect the discussion to vim_use or a (yet to be created) vim_plugins user group. > Maybe there should a way for users to subscribe to comment changes (?) There are tools to monitor page changes. A happy new year (for those who care about the Gregorian calendar), Tom -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
