Relative rankings of every enhancement suggestion

Post by jeffy »

Below is a complete list of all enhancement suggestions posted to this forum, ranked in comparison to one another. I'll post a new listing periodically, so subscribe to this thread if you want to automatically be notified by email about it.

Please reply to this forum thread with your feedback on this ranking. I'm particularly interested--and especially as the number of topics in this forum increases--in a better tie-breaking formula, and how links can be provided inside "CODE" blocks. Thanks! :' )

---KEY---
  • * RNK: "1" is the all time most-wanted enhancement suggestion. "2" is wanted a bit less than that...
    * ID: The forum topic id. Just FYI.
    * {5 4 3 2 1}: The total votes, per answer type (weight).
    • * 5: Important, even if speed/efficiency is decreased/degraded.
      * 4: Somewhat important
      * 3: I'm okay either way
      * 2: Somewhat unimportant
      * 1: Unimportant, even if speed and efficiency remain unaffected
    * TOT: Total votes.
    * WT: The total weight of all votes. Specifically: {sum of "5" votes * 5} + {sum of "4" votes * 4} + {sum of "3" votes * 3} + {sum of "2" votes * 2} + {sum of "1" votes * 1}
    * AVG VOTE: The average weight (1..5) for all votes.
The ranking is determined by total weight ("WT" column), with the "AVG VOTE" column breaking any ties.

Here are a listing, so far, of postings in this forum that are incompatible with this ranking system. Please re-post with a valid poll, if you want your suggestion to be put among this ranking system. A "valid poll" is defined as "has five possible answers, ranked, from top to bottom, from most wanted to least wanted". Sorry and thanks.

Code: Select all

Good work Jeffy. :!:

May I suggest an excellent book to read for anyone who looks at information like this? :?:

Yes?, why thank you....

:idea: The book is titled "How to Lie With Statistics", author Darrell Huff, 1954 (still current info!), published by W.W. Norton, available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.

I am not suggesting that you are lying. Definitely not. Again it is great that you are providing this information. You have provided most of the basic information and results. But what I do find very interesting is a missing number: the number of times an enhancement topic was viewed. Note that number of votes is such a small percentage of the total viewed.

A number of conclusions (valid and invalid) can be drawn. One that comes to mind for me, is that I suspect that the only people voting are those that have a positive interest. Many non votes probably represent those who say "not important", so won't bother to case a vote. This would actually be votes for 3,2,1. So the average you are reporting is higher than reality. It is a percentage of actual voters, not viewers, not eligible voters. That is still important. but it would be interesting to know how many of the viewers were eligilble to vote because they are registered, but chose not to vote.

I am also curious about how you have compiled this information. You must have access to the forum database. (If so, then you can probably provide the info about registered non-voting viewers). If not, could you share your approach on harvesting these forum messages and the votes?

Thanks again for a job well done....:D
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob

Thanks for the wonderful ccmments, Bob! I'll think about them and address them later.

How did I get this information? I wrote a Java program to download the forum webpage, and then download every existing topic webpage listed in it.

:' )

I'm still fixing some things here and there, but I'll have no problem making the code available at some point.

Thanks again, and I'm glad you like it!

Let's try that again:

How did I get this information? I wrote a Java program to download the forum webpage, analyzed the html table for the topics (getting the title/author/view count/reply count in the process), and then download every *topic* webpage listed in it. Then, within each topic web page, I analyzed the HTML for vote counts.

After that, it was just a matter of compiling the values into objects, and aggregating/comparing the values for each.

This is fun stuff, and I love being able to help the TextPad community (he says, selflessly). This is fun stuff, and I love being able to increase my chances in making TextPad exactly what I want it to be (he says, greedily).

There is a fatal flaw in my ranking logic. :' (

It results in a thousand "1" votes becoming higher-rated than a single "5" vote.

Oops. It's a big change. Will work on it and re-post when done. Probably won't be for a while, because this week is killer for me.

Sorry about that.

Done. Thought it was big but it was small. I'm fried. I think this is fixed. Once I'm no longer fried, I'll double check...

Have changed the rules, so that a

"5" vote weighs 2 points
"4" vote weighs 1 points
"3" vote weighs 0 points
"2" vote weighs -1 points
"1" vote weighs -2 points

The weight is now {"5" votes * 2} + {"4" votes * 1} + {"3" votes * 0} + {"2" votes * -1} + {"1" votes * -2}

Jeffy:.......two items:

1. I was going to ask about the final totals, I saw a few that did not seem right. But it looks like you have addressed that. I noticed that the rankings also changed a little with the new algorithm. Too bad those results are not visible right on the forum next to each subject. Thanks again, it looks good.

2. You wrote:

I would appreciate seeing that when available. I have not yet dabbled in java, but this would provide me with a sample that I have an interest in and could learn from. It would seem to address a number of items that I am interested in. No rush, quality before quantity!
Hope this was helpful.............good luck,
Bob

Workgroup features -- Color settings

Post by athleston »

I admire Jeffey's innovation.

And of course I want my feature request to be considered alongside all the others equally. So I have modified my request poll to match the others. I deleted my existing poll and voted again. Just for the record -- the deleted poll had already attracted 8 votes about 6 of which were favorable. Thank you!

For those of you so inclined, here is the Java code with which I generate these polls.

See page four of this thread for instructions on downloading the code

It's not the best organized or designed code--I created it for this purpose only, I didn't expect anyone to be interested in it!--but there you are.

Thanks to Bob for the idea of making it available.[/b]
