Progress bar indicating progress towards next rank
-
How about adding a progress bar on your QtDN account page showing your progress towards the next rank? All the building blocks are already there so this should be trivial to implement.
Might be nice to show a small version next to the avatars in posts. That might be a little crowded though ;-)
-
But what should that progress bar display for all the mad scientists out there? ;-)

still hoping for new ranks beyond mad scientist ;) ... see this "thread":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2275/

Hey! First let me try to catch up with this ranking system, will you? ;-) -
just go for it guys! good luck! :)

Yeah, hold fire a while. I'm late to this party. It will take most of us a while to rank-up. A leaderboard/league view page woudl also be nice.
Can we get bonus points for filing merge requests with gitorious too? And a huge bonus pile of points for getting a MR accepted (if it ever happens) ;-)

The DevNet frontpage does list some statistics...

I'd like those too! :-) -
ZapB: MRs are indeed accepted... E.g. I merged 5 today. Why are you doubting us? :-)

http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/merge_requests/2364
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/merge_requests/1014I have had a couple of small bug fix MRs merged, but larger pieces of new API just seem to languish in gitorious forever. 2364 is coming up for a year now despite repeated attempts to get it reviewed fully. I have some other patches waiting for this to get merged that implement a thread-safe bounded circular buffer class that can trivially be used to implement a threaded producer-consumer pattern.
1014 is something that Andre and I discussed on qt-interest and then implemented after many people showed an interest in such functionality.
If you can find someone to review and hopefully merge them I'll buy you and them some beer at the next devdays (or whatever your poison is).

I'm not completely against points for merge requests, BUT: While it is quite true, that an accepted merge request is great for Qt in general, it adds no immediate benefit to Qt DevNet. And the ranking system in it's current shape is - as far as I understand it - intended to reward activity on this site, not on a place somewhere else.
And just as an (obviously exaggerated) example:
10 new classes, and some other enhancements via merge requests and you are Mad Scientist without having written even a single forum post or wiki article... -
In theory you can also achieve that rank by just liking and tagging content. I'll admit, not very likely, but still...
The point is that there are different ways to contribute to the Qt community. DevNet is supposed to be catering to the community, and it would be nice if achievements in other areas are reflected. In a way, that already happens via the badges. You (and me) being a Certified Developer has nothing to do with your activity at DevNet itself, but it is still reflected here.
