Does not matter how many are "useful" , the ratio should be the same on other CMS too , so this milestone is a pretty impressive one ! our company is proud to have 7 listed on it  A great thanks to the JED team for keeping this Directory up and running! It's a huge improvement to this community!

Max, but this is not the future. as we know this is the status quo. I have more free extensions then commercial ones listed in JED. Since i just asked the users to review me fairly (without giving any incentives) in my forums, i got practically no votes and no review. Some were deleted with the "sum...

Sucks is a pretty strong word

but i noticed also that it is kindof useless if you need to search after 2 terms since it returns all matches that are for any of the words. there is no chance to narrow down the search..

aruba, i did not mean this thread to start another debate about free vs commercial. I was just bedazzled by some marketing strategy i thought it would not be compatible with my system of thought. it's clear that there is no contradiction to JEDs policy, ot2sen explained it pretty clear. of course JE...

Ot2sen,

thanks for the clarification. this sounds fair. No argue there.

Keep up the good work, the JED is a very useful and needed tool!

That was another rather dubious marketing scheme... I noticed it but did not want to go there since there is already this big debate regarding licensing. That project "started" as a GPL project and after getting some "attention" it turned to Commercial .. i am no expert, but that is kind of bait and...

Yes, but most votes are without reviews.. I share the concern with Phil

That was my thought also. I know that people tend not even to vote you, not to mention writing a review (not even a bad one!) if you beg them to review you honestly (as i do in my forums) without any other incentive. I did not give them anything but the product free of charge and asked them if they ...

Sure, i know there is nothing written in the JED policies that forbids this kind of incentive. But we should see what the purpose of the rating system is .. as far as i understand it should be a way for endusers to get fair and non biased reviews and informations. I do not think this is provided in ...

This developer "encourages" ratings for his component by giving free licenses to his work. I do not think such "incentives" are fair and i do not see the point of these reviews since it's clear that the user did not even had a chance to test the product. I am sure that only if you give a positive re...
