Feedback on ReputationPlugin

-- JoonaKannisto - 2009-11-24

Thank you Joona for sharing this plugin with the TWiki community!

Some feedback:

• I made some changes to the plugin topic, please feel free to take this into the next release:
  • fixed the Interwiki link to point to TWiki:Plugins/TagmePlugin
  • added a SHORTDESCRIPTION setting, needed by reports in the Plugins web
  • reformatted the configure settings
  • changed the %DATE% to the actual date (2 times) in Plugin info
• How about measuring and documenting the PluginBenchmarks?
• Please consider maintaining the plugin in our Subversion repository. More at ReadmeFirst and PluginsInSubversion.

I did do the pluginbenchmark, but since it's apparently evaluated as a guest user (my plugin is set to return '' for guests) the performance was 100%. Meaningful benchmarking would also IMO require large number of topics and my test environment does not contain much topics at the moment.

I made a new version of the plugin, considered using the subversion but it seemed unnecessary at the moment. Documentation needs much improvement, haven't focused on that as much as I would like.

This looks like a major upgrade, thank you Joona for contributing to the TWiki project! In July I added the plugin to Subversion, SVN:ReputationPlugin, which is now outdated. Even if you feel not necessary, you could consider maintaining the plugin in Subversion which gives these advantages: a) Other people can easily help maintain code / enhance docs; b) you can generate and upload all packages & md5 with a single command: ./build.pl upload

Hi, thanks for the response. I'll request access to subversion, since it seems less complicated than uploading the changes here manually.

Good, I responded to you "would like to" request. In case you are not familiar with Subversion it is also a good opportunity to familiarize yourself.

I got to know subversion, and it was really simple. Had to revert changes temporalily, some problems with bureacracy and publishing OSS (need to fill in some form first). I'll provide the updated version through SVN shortly though.
