There is no need for representative democracy on the Internet, arranging local poll in each community and then a global one where the community reps vote takes more time and effort than a single global poll. All that's needed is direct links to the global poll from the local community web sites so everyone can partecipate. > The "central hub" should be seen as a "parliament", where users (who have > previously elected their representatives) are represented. Completely disagree. And what about those Mageia users that don't have a local community or that prefer spending their time on the global forum rather than in local forums? Again there is zero need for a representative democracy on the Internet. It only distorts the true wishes of the users and potentially creates local ego-power-positions that only cause controversy and in-fights. _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss
