Karma is a measure of the activity of Maemo community members. Several factors are taken into account when counting a user's karma measurement, including:
- Having a maemo.org account
- Posting to core Maemo mailing lists
- Commenting or rating Maemo news items, blog posts or products
- Joining Garage groups related to products
- Maintaining products on the Garage
- Writing blog posts
- Opening new bugs
- In the old wiki, creating new wiki pages
Each of these is weighted according to the activity to give the final karma total for a user.
Weights
The karma calculation for each of these is calculated as follows:
- maemo.org account: 3 points
- Blog post: Blog posts are scored 1 + [number of favourites for post) - (number of buries for post)
- Products: A product is defined as a release of a project for a specific Maemo release. Thus, if you maintain versions of your software for Bora and Diablo, you will double your karma for the project. A product is scored 1 + its average star rating ("price"), multiplied by the product modifier (4). Thus, "MaemoPad+" has an average star rating of around 4.5, giving a karma weighting of 22 to its author, User:Disq, for each version he maintains.
- Discussion: 1 point per post to a core mailing list - maemo-developer, maemo-user or maemo-community
