Effectively, you have no problem with there *being* a karma number; just not for it to be used for anything other than ego-boosting? When karma was introduced, it was suggested that it would be used in assessing community members' contributions when evaluating device programmes, summit sponsorship etc. Surely these tangible, financial, benefits are more important than a council drawn from the pool of community members? And yet, it's voting that draws the wrath. I look forward to seeing a high voter turnout in these inaugral elections, given that the karma threshold requirement was dropped for voters :-) Cheers, Andrew -- Andrew Flegg -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.bleb.org/ _______________________________________________ maemo-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-community
