Maybe that's in the French culture, and people in the US are used to that... >You're right that it is inaccurate, so maybe instead of an absolute ranking, >maybe two buckets "recently active" and "haven't heard from in a while". If it's not "quantitative", but only activity vs. not active, I guess it would not be that hard to compute *manually*. So if the intention is to separate active from non-active committers, and update that status from time to time (I don't think active vs. non active will change that frequently), then we can do that manually. We could even ask committers to provider an activity status themselves, so that the effort is dispatched on all. Of course, those that do not answer will get a "non-active". So to sum up my opinion: - design an activity-based "point system" to committers, and build an complex API-based application (FlexJS or whatever) that would update the team page => NO - determine (preferably manually) active vs. non-active "boolean" status of committers, and update the team page accordingly => why not, but not the highest priority.

I'm not sure what is "not moral" about it. The main goal is to get separation from our less active committers. Right now the proposed new team page is unfair in that, as long as you took the time to post a picture you get more prominence regardless of how active you have been. You're right that it is inaccurate, so maybe instead of an absolute ranking, maybe two buckets "recently active" and "haven't heard from in a while". FWIW, the number of points I have on the Adobe forums vs someone else is also inaccurate since it relies on someone awarding points which they don't always do, but nobody seems to claim that there shouldn't be a point system. After sleeping on the idea, I agree that Piotr doesn't need to do something like this now, but I'm interested in why Om says it is a lot of work. This seems like a classic Flex use case to me. Is the main issue that there aren't public web services available to get the data we need? Because if we can get the data legally (even by screen scraping if not prohibited), I think it would be fun to see if we can hook a FlexJS SWF up to the data, then cross-compile it, get it to work and have a working FlexJS app on our site. Of course, I may be too optimistic hereŠ -Alex > >Just my opinion. > >Maurice > >-----Message d'origine----- >De : piotrz [mailto:piotrzarzyck...@gmail.com] >Envoyé : samedi 15 mars 2014 21:22 >À : dev@flex.apache.org >Objet : RE: Team page - move empty people down the bottom > >Thanks Maurice.
