Post title: I don't like the endorsements
I hate to be ungrateful, but I've been getting endorsements from people who really have not seen my work, so I wonder how they know.
I get mails with XX has endorsed you, and then all my contacts pop up, from my sibs to people I like but have never met, and I can just click to endorse that they know all about localising, languages, all sorts of strange things. For 99% of the suggestions at least, I have honestly no idea.
I can't see who I have endorsed myself - I did at the beginning, becasue I knew certain colleagues were good at this and that. But I have stopped, because I think the whole endorsement thing is worthless. Sorry, folks!
I do use the rest of the system more or less.
