I made assumptions about the people who responded to the original discussion and IRC discussion. Btw, I should have provided a link for the IRC: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/script/getIrcTranscript.cgi?date=20051130 starting at 12:45, ending 15:31. The discussion did include a bunch of other stuff as well.
> I"m not sure which voting system was applied here: I don't think we have settled on a voting system for us yet, but I didn't have Apache in mind, except that we have the +1/-1/neutral options. Although it seems like with the added IRC discussion the -1s acted like vetos and 3 emerged as the one with no vetos.

Except the options given for 4 where not the same, so there would be 1 vote for 4a and 1 vote for 4b. All the email+IRC discussion implied to me that options 1), 2) and the custom options for 4) so far would be strongly opposed by at least one person, and while nobody really loved 3) everybody could live with it. Let's say the book isn't closed on this until noon tomorrow, so feel free to cast your vote still. Seems to me 3) and 4) are the remaining viable candidates, with the caveat that you'd need to suggest something new for 4) that hasn't been suggested before. (Or if we don't have vetos then all options are still open.) PS. And I think we'd need a little addition to 3) as well. If the releases are going to be identical except that one is built in debug mode the releases should be called maybe "debug" and "end-user" release, or something along those lines to clarify the difference. -- Heikki Toivonen
