Release level

[dismas]

This isn't so much feedback as it is a question about how the site is run.

I was looking through the lists of coders and designers and noticed that they're broken up by "Release Level". What is a release level and what does it mean to be in Release Level 5 vs. Release Level 6 and so on?

He's referring to the Coder & Designer lists.

A members points are not directly visible - in fact there are only three visible titles - Coder, Designer, and Coder/Designer. You only need one point to be a coder or designer (or 1 point of each for the joint title). Everyone will also have a "Release Level" based on their total points - the more points you have, the higher your release level - an indication of how much you have released (and how popular your work has become). Hovering over the user title will show what level people have reached.

Every coder/designer will also have an individual coder and designer release level, viewable by displaying the coder or designer list.
