Kibana team members are in time zones around the world (and sometimes inconsistently since some team members travel and work simultaneously). Most of our communication is asynchronous through GitHub, email, and Slack. When we need to have synchronous conversation we set up video calls, sometimes ad hoc and sometimes scheduled. We try to be mindful of each other’s personal lives and preferred working style and generally things just work out.
Interesting perspective of ratings. I always wondered if the UI interactions are tangible enough for rating an item as web is often a whimsical activity. This somehow justifies it well .
One of the things that I believe leads to fewer people rating things is the amount of mental work involved in giving a rating other than 1/5 star. This is where the like/dislike, up/down systems fare much better.
