OK. But we still have the same problem. The results are biased because it is a vote that has been held for a decade. So issues that were entered in 2002 have been voted on longer than those entered in 2012. So regardless of its intrinsic value or popularity, an issue that has been voted on for a longer period of time will tend to have more votes. This makes the results far more difficult to interpret than if we voted on them at the same time. Even with the Google Moderator votes we saw that effect, even though that was only over a period of a month. The ideas that were entered on the first days had more votes because they had greater opportunity for votes. So if we really want an accurate view of user preferences, we would need to do something like a survey. -Rob > Regards, > Andrea. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
