Comment 3 for bug 1074129

In describing which reviews to show, up till now I hadn't mentioned Ubuntu versions at all. So I'm disappointed that reviews from other Ubuntu versions are being hidden altogether.

However, I had suggested that "The average rating for a software item, as shown to someone running a particular Ubuntu release, should be the mean of the last 50 ratings for versions of the software that are less than or equal to the latest version available for that Ubuntu release."

Imagine JazzWriter 1.0 was published for Ubuntu 12.04 and for 12.10. Later, JazzWriter 2.0 was published for Ubuntu 12.10 only. If you're running Ubuntu 12.04, the average rating should be based only on reviews of 1.0 -- it shouldn't be affected by reviews of a version you can't install. But it doesn't matter whether those reviews of 1.0 are from people using Ubuntu 12.04 or people using Ubuntu 12.10.

The same applies to which reviews you are shown. In the same example, you should see reviews for version 1.0 -- and only 1.0 -- regardless of whether the people reviewing it were using 12.04 or 12.10. I've now clarified this in the spec. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter/RatingsAndReviews?action=diff&rev2=88&rev1=87>
