8/31 is coming tomorrow and people will soon be asking about the Logo
Contest I'm sure :-) This is a proposal of one possible way to
handle the voting.
* Create and publish a page somewhere on people.apache.org that lists
each entry and gives it a number. Why not do this on the wiki?
Because the wiki can be changed on the fly by anyone who is logged in
and it opens the door for malicious or erroneous behavior. Using the
wiki as the basis for voting would also allow people to add entries
after the deadline, which may or may not be something we want.
Publishing a separate page might make the voting easier. We could
create a JavaScript-enabled list that will make it easier for people
to hide the images they don't want to choose from and rearrange them
in the order they want, then submit a vote.
* Vote will be taken by an email thread on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Votes should be
in the following format:
My top 5 choices are:
1. Image 7: URL
2. Image 10: URL
3. Image 5: URL
4. Image 1: URL
5. Image 4: URL
* An individual's vote will be scored as follows: Choice 1 receives
5 points, choice 2 receives 4 points, choice 3 receives 3 points,
choice 4 receives 2 points, choice 1 receives 1 point. Two tallies
will be kept: One tally will represent the PMC vote and another
tally will represent the community vote. All community members are
encouraged to vote, but only the PMC vote is binding. The logo with
the most total points is the winner.
* At the end of the vote (say 2 weeks) the vote-counter will respond
to the thread showing the results. If there is a discrepancy between
what the PMC has voted for and what the community at-large has voted
for the PMC will decide how to handle it. If there is a clear winner
the contributor will be asked to submit all the relevant paperwork,
etc. If there is not a clear winner a new proposal will be submitted
to determine a runoff strategy.
Comments? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Greg
