Top Users

Hello,

 

I have seen some sites where the reputation system takes into account some dimension of 'recent time'. Imagine a top users widget for only the 'last 30 days'. This would be different that the way Jive currently ranks users based ontotal points over all time.

 

My thoughts are -- this would surface recent activity and encourage new users to engage and feel like top contributors (at least in relative terms).

 

Is this something other see any value in ?

Re: Top Users

Hey Jacob,

 

I've actually been working on an "MVP" widget in my spare time that would rank users based on the amount of interest and interaction around the content that they have created.  This would have a point decay aspect to it, so new content with lots of interest/interaction would give you a much higher score than content that is 60 days old. 

 

I agree that there is a bit of hole here and we need to do a better job of encouraging new users.  It's pretty hard to feel like you've made a splash in the community when you have 10pts and the top users have 10,000pts.  When I complete my plugin, I'll send you a link so you can check it out. 

 

In the meantime, I've added a feature request for you to introduce point decay to the TopMembersWidget (CS-9422)

Re: Top Users

I'm very interested in the widget as well - keep us posted once it becomes available.  Thanks for taking the time to create it.

Re: Top Users

Is your MVP widget available?

Re: Top Users

Hi Jackie,

 

I did complete a first revision of this against 3.0 and had a few engineers review the code.  It needs a bit of refactoring to be ready for primetime and I just haven't had much opportunity to work on this outside of work.  With that said, however, I'll try to dedicate some cycles to soon and get it completed by the end of the month.

 

Thanks,

Austen

Re: Top Users

I know this is long overdue, but I finally found some time to finish out this plugin.  It is currently in an alpha state, so should be used for testing only (not in a production environment).  However, I am actively working on it and hope to have a general release soon (including for SBS 4.0).  In the meantime, I'd be interested in your feedback!

Re: Top Users

Jacob, I think this would be interesting as well and would like to get a copy of any widget that is developed for this purpose.  Back-end reporting that uses this logic would also seem to be useful in identifying emerging/new "super-users/contributors".

Thanks

BT

Re: Top Users

Some collaboration tools also have 'Kudos' tools of various sorts, where applauding content value generates an alternate score, and is peer-driven rather than volume-driven.
