From; http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html +1 "Yes," "Agree," or "the action should be performed." On some issues this is only binding if the voter has tested the action on their own system(s). +/-0 "Abstain," "no opinion". An abstention may have detrimental effects if too many people abstain. -1 "No." On issues where consensus is required, this vote counts as a veto. All vetos must contain an explanation of why the veto is appropriate. Vetos with no explanation are void. No veto can be overruled. If you disagree with the veto, you should lobby the person who cast the veto. Voters intending to veto an action item should make their opinions known to the group immediately so that the problem can be remedied as early as possible. IMHO, a. It is unclear when "consensus is required". b. I like democratic rules better.
