Moving away from the term "karma" in Bodhi

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have started to move away Bodhi from using the term "karma" to rate 
updates. I know this word has become familiar to all Fedora users, but 
there were several requests in the past to stop the misuse. As I may not 
be the most "politically correct" person you know, this task has been 
low priority for me; nevertheless, I've now found some spare time to 
start working on it.

So, I plan to replace the term "karma" with "feedback" where users 
submit their (+1|0|-1) vote: a Comment will no more have the "karma" 
property, but it will be "feedback". At the same time, TestCaseKarma and 
BugKarma will become TestCaseFeedback and BugFeedback.

For updates, the term "karma" is used as the sum of all karma|feedback 
submitted by users, so I plan to rename this to "rating". English is not 
my native language, but I think it is correct to rate an update 
positive|neutral|negative and rating should be quite understandable to 
foreign speakers.

I'm writing the changes so that a compatibility layer should not break 
other tools, which means for a decent amount of time anything still 
using the term "karma" should continue to work. I can push the changes 
into Bodhi's staging instance for anyone willing to test them against 
their code (I'll let you know when there's something ready to test).
