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.
Is this decision final? "karma" is a distinct term that is not easily
confused. But if you tell me that an update had a negative "rating",
people in Fedora will not know what you're talking about. The word
is much more generic.
How about replacing the term "karma" with "kudos"? It has a similar ring
to it and should be uncontroversial.
Could the icon above the colon voor neutral (neither positive nor
negative) be changed at the same time to make it more distinct? It now
uses the same thumbs up as the positive colon, wrongly suggesting the
default selection being positive karma|kudos|feedback when it actually
doesn't add to the count.
