Nicola, regarding this I'm a bit all-or-nothing. Either we come up with a method where every vote can be tracked, or we skip it altogether. The benefits outlined by Greg are reduced greatly if we only keep a partial record - especially if we only keep track of the votes where we could be bothered to update the STATUS file.
I think you'll have very few votes in the STATUS file, and that that will be because there is a threshold to use it. This is why I'm -0 on it -- I'm personally convinced that it won't be used. > From: Nicola Ken Barozzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > These [Bugzilla, Wiki] don't have authentication, while CVS does. > Maybe even more important, Wiki is clumsy at notifying changes, > while Bugzilla is clumsy to use for votes, since votes must be done > too also on the mailing list. Depends on what you mean by authentication - if your require the SSH level of authentication, then yes. But if Bugzilla's simple login/ password combination is enough, then Bugzilla has authentication as well. For Bugzilla, I didn't mean that votes should be held there. I mean that when I start a [VOTE] thread on avalon-dev, I create a corresponding [VOTE] bug in Bugzilla. Then, I can summarize the progress of the vote and the vote itself in the bug comments. For example: Bug #0: [VOTE] A or B? Long Description: PROPOSAL I hereby propose that B should be used in preference to A, whenever possible. This means that Avalon from now on should be written Bvblon. Theoretically we could rename to Bbbylon, but that is out of scope for this proposal.
