Add some quality indication #17

Open cornelius opened 10 years ago

The quality of the libraries is quite different. On one hand depending on the maturity of the code, but on the other hand also depending on how it's released, how complete documentation is, how well it's presented.

It would be nice to have some indication on the web site, which shows this quality depending on certain criteria.

We could for example create a quality indication rating by giving points for the existence of elements in the manifest, e.g. 1 point for API documentation, 1 point for multi-platform support, 1 point for being released, 1 point for having packages, 1 point for a stable maturity status, etc.

This could also be a nice motivation to complete the manifest entries on one hand, and provide useful artifacts like API documentation on the other hand.

We should make sure that it doesn't let libraries to have less quality which deliberately have certain limitations by design, e.g. not being available on all platforms.
