Bug Description

ATM, karma value is a bit of a pinball score : nobody really cares about the last 3 numbers. When you have2000 of Karma and you saw someone with 2900, you think : well, we have nearly the same karma ! (altought there is 150% more work !)

There is also a too big difference between top5 (150 000 !!) and
someone who translate one or two sentence every day (150). I know that the work is not the same, but I think it's really encouraging when you can grow quickly at first.

In this aspect, the karma system of GNOME bugzilla works very well. Best contributor have 25-26. Experienced users have 14-15 but you quickly go from 0 to 5 then to 10 if you are regular.

Displaying the Log is IMHO a real reward for new contributor. Then, each step becomes harder and you want to work harder and harder without noticing it.

****

though it would hide bugs in the karma code, so we might not want to do it for a while yet.
