RE: [PEAR-DEV] Pear Comitee

Ah now you misunderstood what I was trying to say :) I was just trying to say that whatever method used its needs to stay transparent. I think it is quite possible to make your method transparent. Does make sense to give people more deeply involved more "units" per vote. I do not have enough experience with PEAR or mailing lists in general to really know the dangers. I will just list 2 which I am just throwing out there and that you all can dismiss :-) 1. People that want to get into PEAR might be drawn away from the hierarchy 2. People will come up with little criticism here and there about how much what level of involvement should give Anyways those 2 points are minor points that should maybe get addressed by a nice explanation of the voting system and the why it is the way it is (once it is put into place) Best regards, Lukas Smith smith@dybnet.de _______________________________ DybNet Internet Solutions GbR Alt Moabit 89 10559 Berlin Germany Tel. : +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax : +49 30 83 22 50 07 www.dybnet.de info@dybnet.de _______________________________ > -----Original Message----- > From: cox@idecnet.com [mailto:cox@idecnet.com] > Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 12:18 AM > To: pear-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PEAR-DEV] Pear Comitee > > Lukas Smith wrote: > > > > Well the important thing is to keep whatever method used to "rate" the > > vote or better the units counted transparent to the voter. > > > > So the interface should output whatever methods used. > > > > The danger of making the system too complex is obviously that people > > will feel a bit "tricked" by the system because they might not > > understand why their votes only counts so and so many units. > > Well my explanation in poor english could sound complex, but the idea is > very simple: a vote will count more when the voter is more involved in > PEAR and when the voter will review the proposal deeper.
