Re: Re: RFC votes no longer visible

Note that all votes become public after the voting has been closed. There is no secret here - except when the votes are being counted, the results are "pending". I personally think this could fix some of the flaws we have in the voting RFC, and maybe even get more people to participate in the voting. The voting RFC says nothing about the individual vote needing to actually be public even after the results are in. It is also very unclear on who actually can vote, but thats a separate ting.

Not having a vote I can't influence anything anyway, but I DO take note of what people feel about various changes being proposed. From my point of view, seeing who is supporting or opposing something influences whether I take a closer look at something. While comments on the lists may be adequate, seeing that there are objections via the voting is important to me! If people I respect enter what seems to be an alternate view, then it can be picked up before voting closes rather than when it's already a done deal? This thread was copied to the web-master list as 'more appropriate', but is a perfect example of where a central discussion is necessary. The new website is now even more disjointed than it was and searching the site to review rfc's is another casualty if decisions made elsewhere? I'm having to run searches on saparate areas of the new site and getting excessive multilingual results for something that a simple single search used to provide? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
