Community Equity Widgets explained
How do we visualize Community Equity ?
This blog post explains the various widgets we have implemented as part of our SunSpace project.
Feedback is highly appreciated !
Personalized Widgets
This are set of widgets which are personalized for a specific user
My Community Equity
Use Case: Show the overall Contribution and Participation Equity across all communities of a user
Objective: Motivate a user to improve her/his overall ranking
Remark :
- Data Privacy laws (in our implementation only the user can see this widget)
- Show % of ranking can be misleading when you have only 5-10% of very active users

(Personal Note)
I don't really like this widget. I would like see more and eBay like model with stars,diamond etc..
any feedback and suggestions are highly appreciated
(End Personal Note)
My Contribution Tag Cloud
Use Case: Show all Contribution Tags of a user ordered by Tag Equity (Social value of a tag)
Objective: Show a users expertise based on her/his overall contribution
Remark :
- need a clear tagging policy.
- Skills (tags) should be suggested during content creation
- can be combined with Contribution Listing widget via inter-widget communication

My Contribution Listing
Use Case: Show all Contributions from user ordered by Information Equity (Social value of an information)
Objective: Show a users contributions with the highest social value
Remark :
- can be combined with Contribution Tag Cloud widget via inter-widget communication

Community Widgets
This are set of widgets which are related to all or to a specific community
Top Communities
Use Case: Show the top xx communities
Objective: Motivate communities to get into the top ranking of all communities

Top Contributors - Top Countries
Use Case: Show the top xx contributors or countries of all or a specific community
Objective: Motivate people to get into the top ranking of a community
Remark :
- if a user is not in the top x ranking but is part of the community her/his ranking is shown at the bottom of the widget

Top Content
Use Case: Show the top xx content of all or a specific community
Objective: Show the most valued content of a community
Remark :
- if a user looking at this widget - own content she/he has authored is shown in bold
We can use the tag cloud or listing widget to show the most valued content of a community

or a specific widget to show the top content. Furthermore there is an activity widget which shows the details per content (URL)

Expert Calculation
Use Case: Show the top xx experts for tag x
Objective: Automatically calculate expertise of users (our countries with expertise) based on the social feedback they receive on their contributions
Remark :
This is probably the coolest expert location model today as it calculates experts based on contributions of a user and the
social feedback of the entire community

What's next ?
We are tuning the mathematical model and history service to provide time bound Equity.
As example we want to show to most valued person,content or community during a specific time period.

Nice, really nice.
Where did u realize this?
Inside the confluence db?
One needs to tweak the system to make it perform like this.
We're on the verge of designing such a db change and decided it needs to work in Confluence.
