Quantopian community and kudos

edited Feb 11, 2015

Hello,

Quantopian Open Contest is present in a lot of Quantopian users head.
This post is something quite different : it's about "kudos" (from greek "κύδος" or "kydos"). It means the glory and renown resulting from a successful action.

Maybe you should allow users to grant some "kudos" to other users.

When your public algo is being cloned, it could provide kudos.
If someone click on a button "I like this post", it could also.

I think such idea is important to keep a kind of community spirit.

My 2cts
(sorry "My 2 kudos")

Kind regards

PS: I won't win Quantopian Open... I'm not going live for now (so I won't be able to apply to Quantopian Managers Program)... but I'm sure I won't win a kudos contest too (Grant will be winner of such a contest !) ;-) that's life !

Ditto, kudos to the idea, I'd like a thumbs up icon on posts although maybe no thumbs down, only one more column in the database.

No with Stackoverflow you can vote down if you have enough points... vote up only is probably better as it's a positive reward.

Kaggle also tracks Forum up/down votes and this would be a good feature.

Femto,

I'll pass on the kudos contest, and see if I can win the real one (or at least have some fun and learn a few things, as well).

Cheers,

Grant

Alisa? Any news about this?
It may be a task for your new product manager https://quantopian.recruiterbox.com/jobs/fk0mz6i/ isn't it?
My kudos to Grant... who is still very active here ;-)
