Hi all, I suggest that we keep using doodle for the brainstorming to eliminate unpopular choices, but that we then use selectricity for the Condorcet voting. Its voting engine is free software and the rest is promised to be released under the AGPLv3, and it is made by a DD. http://selectricity.org/ Doodle is very convenient, but this is one more tool that makes us dependant on non-free software. Also, I had no time to participate in the discussion (back from holidays). I would like to make the following comments: - Acronyms are often shuffled when translating from one western language to another. - Trendy words in English are difficult to translate, and their meaning can change with time. My personnal conclusion is to suggest a dictionary work that has not too much background. For instance, "Rainbow". A Debian rainbow distribution would be translated as a "distribution arc-en-ciel" in French, et cætera. The rainbow colors all derive from the same thing, and we do not need to enter into more details with the name if we want to keep it short. I am not saying that rainbow is THE thing, but althout I agree that we should find an end to the debate, I would prefer to see more alternative to the "3-letter acronym" concept. Also, seeking for very large consensus is really important, as votings divide communauties when they are too close to 49/51. Lastly, here is why I dislike spin and slice. - Slice suggests that not all is available. - I do not understand the relation between rotation and custom derived distribution. I will reflect this email on the wiki later.
