That's probably a stupid question, and excuse me if it is, but what does those votes on the dev mailing list even mean?
How do you count votes at the end? Just by counting all votes cast, irregardless of whomever cast it? Or are we intending to only count PMC members, or maybe committers votes? If the former, that is a bit weird to me because we simply don't know who votes. And I don't mean to be rude towards anyone, but 1) someone could easily create 10 email addresses to vote 10 times (and sure, you could invoke trust, and I'm not entirely against trust in general, but it's the internet...) and 2) this kind of decision will have non-trivial consequences for the project, particularly on those that maintain it, so I admit I'm not entirely comfortable with "anyone's voice has the same weight". If the latter, then this makes more sense to me (why are we even bothering voting PMC members in if it's not to handle these kinds of decisions, which are very "project management" related), but we should be very clear about this from the get go (we could still use the dev list for transparency sake, that I don't mind)? We should probably also have some deadline to the vote, one that isn't too short. Anyway, fwiw, my opinion on this vote is not far from the one on the golang driver acceptance vote (for which my remark above also apply btw): no yet 100% convinced adding more pieces and scope to the project is what the project needs just right now, but not strongly opposed if people really wants this (and this one makes more sense to me than the golang driver actually). But if I'm to pick between a) and b), I'm leaning b). -- Sylvain On Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 8:45 PM Joseph Lynch <joe.e.ly...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 for piecemeal (option b). > > I think I've explained my opinion on all the various threads and tickets. > > -Joey > On Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 10:48 AM Vinay Chella <vinaykumar...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > +1 for option b, considering the advantages mentioned in dev email thread > > that Sankalp linked. > > > > ~Vinay > > > > > > On Wed, Sep 12, 2018 at 10:36 AM Dinesh Joshi > > <dinesh.jo...@yahoo.com.invalid> wrote: > > > > > +1 for piecemeal (option b) > > > > > > Dinesh > > > > > > > On Sep 12, 2018, at 8:18 AM, sankalp kohli <kohlisank...@gmail.com> > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > Community has been discussing about Apache Cassandra Management > > > process > > > > since April and we had lot of discussion about which approach to > take to > > > > get started.
