[Bug 881890] Re: the average rating problem

 

** Description changed:

- 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.
+ A software does something that some people are interested in doing. The
+ same software does what its author says that it does extremely well, so
+ people use it, then rate it 5.
  
- 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.
+ Now, a software does something that most people are interested in using.
+ The same software does what its author says that it does well, so people
+ use it, then rate it 3.
  
- 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.
+ Finally, I see many software that I'm not interested in using appearing
+ above many software that I'm interested in using in the Ubuntu Software
+ Store lists.
