Hi,<br>
<br>
it seems that some of the extras-testing testers are not really<br>
doing a good job. Thus it seems to happen every now and then that some<br>
app gets a thumbs down for things it shouldn't be getting a thumbs<br>
down for or where such a verdict is at least questionable.<br></blockquote><div><br>usually what you or I may think is unjustified matters to people.<br>i <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
My proposal is simple: Let's setup some mailing list which<br>
only real developers are allowed to join (may just be everybody<br>
with a working app in any of the repositories). And once someone<br>
thinks to be the victim of a karma-whore he may ask for help on that<br>
list. If we have at least 10 people on such a list we can easily<br>
override any such thumb down. In such a case the developer would<br>
explain why he thinks the thumb down is not justified and if<br>
enough list members agree and help out the problem will be fixed.<br></blockquote><div><br><br>the voice of the commons is generally to be listened to.<br>we put our apps into the community, <br>our apps are going on their devices, <br>
why should we have more say than them?<br><br>a cabal of rebels overruling usually valid issues undermines the process for everyone.<br><br>i have not updated any apps since finding out I also have to handle optification and other issues.<br>
i'm not upset at the mechanism though.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Does garage allow for invitation-only mailing lists?<br></blockquote><div><br>not sure <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

What do you think? I really think it's wrong that testers can stop<br>
bad developers, but that there's no way for developers to stop<br>
bad testers.<br></blockquote><div><br>that sounds like a freudian slip, its right that testers can stop bad developers.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Till<br></blockquote><div><br>till, I know you are miffed about this process, we all have growing pains with the new steps, but we want all our users to have the best experience possible<br><br>gary <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
