Introduction
This page describes the Svnwiki extension for rating files.
Purpose
This simple extension adds three things at the bottom of each file:
- A “Vote up” link that can be used to rate a file as “good”.
- A “Vote down” link that can be used to rate a file as “bad”.
- The current rating and number of votes for the file.
As such, it is a simple way of polling readers as to whether they think a file is good or not. We tend to use it in our weblogs.
Current status
The rating extension is currently working.
It should be noted that for files with a great number of votes, some algorithms could be improved to make things far more efficient.
Usage
To enable the rating extension in a specific file or a directory (affecting all its contents), make sure the word “rating” is listed on its svnwiki:handler Subversion property.
