I don't mind handling this. So, the cutoff is midnight tomorrow?
Midnight Pacific?
I'll work on the review/submit page.

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
