Last week the infrastructure team launched a new version of Fedora Tagger[1]. It is a webapp that allows users to upvote/downvote tags on packages as well as rate packages themselves. The data will end up getting pulled into yum repo metadata by the bodhi masher and into the Fedora Packages[2] indexer to improve search results. Fedora Tagger is also one of our first attempts at "gamification". You earn "points" by voting and rating and there's a leaderboard on which you can muscle for first place(!) This new version is quite a bit of a rewrite. The original version was written on top of the TurboGears2 framework; this new one is written on Flask instead. The rewrite has given us an opportunity to more clearly define the API[3], (many thanks to pingou). This affords us the opportunity to write tools against it: Pierre is working on a desktop tagger application[4] and we've been in some conversation with Richard Hughes about using it for gnome-software[5]. Other new features and bugfixes aside from the API cleaning: - OpenID FAS Login for security and convenience. - You can now cast your rating on packages (not just tags on packages) - The scoring system is more complicated. Adding new tags is worth more points than voting on pre-existing tags. - oddshocks contributed a nice link to the bug tracker from the main page. - After some deliberation[6] on how to go about it, you can actually view packages with no tags when anonymous now. - There used to be some weird focus-stealing bugs when using hotkeys. Those have been eliminated. Try it out, help improve package search, and climb your way to the number-one tagger spot!
