you might want to vote for drupal on osdir.com and let the world know how a perfect 10 is spelled... :-)

People should vote what they want... only vote 10 if you think Drupal deserves it. Internet ratings are always extreme though: people will give 0/10 for the smallest problem, and will give 10/10 for mediocre things.

What you'd call a bi-modal distribution. That's one reason I am going with a five star rating system on my site, the points in between are never used. On a 10 point scale I typically see lots of 0/1s and 9/10s with hardly anything in between. Too many 'net ratings turn into something more akin to collegiate rivalry... my team is always a 10, yours is always a 0. ;-)

yes, ofcource one should give the number one wants, not a 10 compaired to soem nuke product or to a product you have experience with 1 year ago. also, compaired to what? software? blog software? community software? etc...

regarding the statistics part, having an even point scale (hence, 1,2,3,4 or poor, average,good,excelent) is better than an odd score. since people are forced to make a choise instead of the "it good go either way", seen in 3 point scales)

also it is not smart to label from 1-10 since 6 is considered (at least in some parts of europe) as average and 5 as below since are school system works this way.

While I wouldn't feel comfortable giving Drupal a 10, I certianly feel alright giving it an 8, maybe a 9 for it's community. I think there are currently some minor growing pains. Drupal has a lot of active development going on, but somehow still manages to stick together and there's no feature-creep. I do think people like to compare the forum.module to phpBB and the image.module to gallery, and they forget that Drupal doesn't try to be phpBB or gallery, but rather a whole bunch of other things all at once. I think I do the same thing sometimes. I do think that Drupal stands on it's own very well, though it takes a bit for someone to get used to how it works.

Congrats and thanks to the Drupal team and contributors.
