Debian and its clones SimplyMEPIS, a very popular desktop Linux, is going to change back to using Debian Linux for its core from Ubuntu. In March of 2006, MEPIS founder Warren Woodford, decided to switch to Ubuntu from Debian for the next version of SimplyMEPIS, version 6.0. The plan was to use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Long Term Service), a.k.a. Dapper Drake, as MEPIS' foundation. Things have changed.

I'm seeing comment scores going above 5.

One of my comments got a 6 and I've even seen an 11.

Is the scoring system broken or something?

Interesting Adam.

So part of the code base is shared between the upcoming OSNews 4 and the present one?

not being able to go beyond '5' in my opinion is broken...

so if a reply is scored/rated as 12, it's OK. Having a ceil at 5 is bad. It would even be possible to have 40 people being ositive and 5 negative, making the score '0' instead of 35. Wold that be cool? Don't think so. It's better now.
