I am wondering, how hard would it be to modify Bodhi to require extra Karma for kernels? Who should I talk to about this possibility? John, Son of Clay.

Actually, re-reading them, both versions tend to emphasize the negative feedback scenarios more than the positive. We should fix that. Positive feedback is in a way more important than negative, because we *need* proven testers to leave at least +1 on each critpath update (that doesn't have a problem, obviously) or it will not get published. We should probably explicitly call out that, in general, if you don't hit any of the negative or neutral feedback scenarios discussed, you should leave positive feedback.
Thinking about it, though, we could consider a slightly different process for the kernel, as it's a component that's *extremely* subject to different experiences for different users. I'm not sure the workflow we've designed will work terribly well for kernels. I suspect it'll be all too easy for a kernel which actually contains a major regression to be approved; all it needs is for a proventester who doesn't happen to own the hardware concerned to find it works fine on their system, and file a +1, and anyone else to file a +1 too, and it'd be approved, even though someone who does own the hardware might come by and test an hour later and find the problem...
we might want to design a system for the kernel where all proventesters hold off posting positive feedback for a day or two, until several proventesters and regular testers have had the chance to check for regressions. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net
