Well, I have Florent criticizing me for being too democratic, and Xor criticising me for not being democratic enough, so how about if you guys just debate it directly. Ian.

You blocked the funds with that for 3 months. I am absolutely OK with that and think we should go through with it! :) Now you want to bypass your own democracy by taking a large sum of money and spending it how you please. This opposes your own agenda. Thus please wait for the results of the poll and only suggest a website redesign if people actually want it. Sorry :( I don't enjoy saying this but it's a natural conclusion and thus needs to be said. Especially considering this statement of your own:
When I've raised the subject of a website redesign in the past, the only
voices I heard in response were opposed to it.
Something which you have felt lots of opposition against is the last thing you should bypass a poll for. Also, something which matters on personal *taste* is a poll-thing as well: Design preferences are highly personal. Whether a design sucks can only be answered in a poll in the first place. So please, if you want to bypass the poll, do it with something less controversial, and with something which costs a lot less money than $5000 :) Thanks :) -- hopstolive (keyword for Ians spam filter)_______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl -- Ian Clarke Stacks - The AI CFO for your personal finances http://trystacks.com/ _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org https://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
