OTOH, on a complex project, I know about the level of involvement some people have on some topics. I don't know about many others. And yes, I do let other voters' votes influence mine. Probably we should rather make explicit that if you don't feel confident about rating somebody, you should refrain from voting (for or against). Then, a vote of 0 would mean "nobody knows this person", a negative vote would mean "he is mostly a liability", and we would just sponsor the positive levels. _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
