Re: Vote system

Bertrand Gugger wrote: [snip stuff about voting system flaws] I agree that a better solution than the one I proposed (allowing people to change votes) is to allow a person to downgrade a call for votes back into the proposal stage if some major changes need to be made. I also think that -5 should automatically pull the vote down to proposal, as no package should get in that has that much dissent. I think pear people have demonstrated that they vote professionally, I don't anticipate personal quarrels causing packages to be blown away. Also, if that ever happens, the PEAR group can step in. Once a package is downgraded, existing votes would simply be erased (essentially allowing vote change, but in a more systematic way). Greg
