[Bug 881890] Re: the average rating problem

[Pedro Bessa]

There are two things we can do...

1. mark read, mark unread, save marks, load marks
2. shows apps individually with mini description, expand to full description, collapse to mini description and next app

...to track what apps were read.

When looking for Mozilla Add-ons, I hate reading add-on names and
descriptions that I already read.

Title:
  the average rating problem

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  First, a software does what it says that it does extremely well, so people use it, then rate it 5.
  Second, a software does something that most people aren't interested in using, but the same software does something that some people are interested in using, so they install it and give it 5 stars.
  Finally, I see many 5 starred software, but I'm not interested in using them, because the description doesn't go towards my objectives.

  If a software's full description page is read by 100 people and 90
  from among them choose to install it, that means 90% are interested in
  using it.

  average rating: how much people who installed a software liked the software
  usage interest: how many people who read a software installed the software

  I want to see what software has high usage interest, but does what it says that it does badly, so I can open sourcely fix it.
  Later, I want to see sorting by average rating * usage interest too.
