http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html states that: An action requiring consensus approval must receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and no binding vetos. An action requiring majority approval must receive at least 3 binding +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 votes. All other action items are considered to have lazy approval until somebody votes -1, after which point they are decided by either consensus or majority vote, depending on the type of action item. Unfortunately, I'm unaware of how one determines which issues require consensus vs. majority vs. lazy approval. Is this specified somewhere? In the cae of tabs vs. spaces, I think that majority rule would be more sensible than consenesus. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
