Do it by .org username, check for plugins? they’re a contributor on

+1 for developer? polls. But how do we decide whether a user accounts for a developer or just a user?

In rewatching this, I’m just? admiring the epic beard guy behind Shane.? I mean, WOW. Epic beard, bro.

How about a metric to reveal WP_DEBUG errors, warnings, deprecated calls, etc. Just on activation? alone reveals a ton.

Maybe? do a dev poll?
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
I care, because you do ;)?
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
i don’t think i? do
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
do you really ever care about someone’s review? of software from 4 years ago?
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
We’ve got? favorite plugins viewing on the profiles
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
that would awesome?
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
I like? that idea.

As a theme dev and reviewer, honestly the theme review team is great in principle but it is far from a perfect? system. Applying that practice to plugins could be messy.

Badges =? good idea.

I think John had a good? point that Jake shut down a bit – the reasons behind the ratings should be weighed.
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
how about a star? average?
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
Also, what if stars expire? A star added at 0.1 is? completely different than a star added at 1.0 of a plugin

on the themes side things don’t get in at all without passing the review (right?), but for plugins the idea seems? to be you can get in either way and the good ones get tagged

Devs could add additional features which stretch their own knowledge and then end up using bad/unsafe code and then that would completely bypass the vetting? itself
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
I don’t think this really covers issues like getting a plugin? vetted, and keeping it vetted… plugins get worse over time often

I think there’s a 9 person? limit.

..and for some reason? the ‘join hangout’ button won’t work. dag nabbit

Sorry I wasn’t able to hop in earlier.Finishing dinner with the kids and damn Google Apps? account wasn’t set up for G+

True – and? this will be, too, certainly. But it’s an interesting starting point.
June 23rd, 2013 at 4:39 pm
don’t we already? address the problem of what code is “good enough” in core? the system there seems to be: people talk to each other
