SWIP index

Tuesday, July 23, 2002 by Lecrayon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Well, if you want to have a better rating system, perhaps here is a thought that I developed last night. It's called the Swip-index. Swip stands for: skill (technical & optical), workmanship, innovative, performance. Like with an index of shares, you can give weighing factors to each component. People should be able to search on each of the component or/and overall swip-index. If someone wants to rate, all the components have to be filled in. Maybe, this indexation could lead to a whole range of new design idea's and different wallpapers and such. My last2 cents.

A tad like DeskMod's rgb-ratings (r = originality, b = technique and o = overall). It will never solve the ratings debate though. People will always complain about skewed or biased ratings.

well, you can debate about it though, it has a more versatile character. I can imagine you will weigh the performance higher on the windowblinds section for instance, and stimulate innovation by weighing that higher in the wallpapers. You shouldn't also hang on to the 1-10 rates but try a different kind of math. At least these are some concrete criteria, rather than just say, ohwell I think this is a 7 or an 8.
