Comment 19 for bug 72815

I know that karma is a low priority for Launchpad devs, and it mostly seems to work well, but some of the weights given to some activities seem a bit odd.

I've been contributing a lot to documentation through both code commits and documentation bug triage for the past several months, and have seen my karma reach ~850 through these tasks. It has been a slow, gradual climb.

Within the past two days I've created two blueprints, and my karma score has nearly doubled (Launchpad tacked on ~700 points for the blueprint work). It may be the case that creating a blueprint demonstrates commitment to the strategy and goals of a project, and that is why it is given more weight. It still seems a bit odd to see my karma nearly double given the amount of work I had put in previously.
