Uli: Mark, everything has its time and place, and at this time, this list is the place for licence discussions. Alain: Yup! Uli: I think having an FAQ is a great idea. Alain: Indeed! Uli: I don't have much time at hand to do something like this ... I can hardly keep working on my stuff and keep current on the messages on this list. Alain: I know how that feels! Uli: While basically a good idea, a community clerk would need to have his competences clearly outlined. The community clerk should be the one to usually organize votes, but others should be allowed to override the clerk and also call for votes. Else, the clerk could hold up progress, or even turn into sort of a dictator. Alain: Absolutely! Uli: My natural choice for community clerk would've been Alain .. Alain: Thank you for the nomination, Uli. :) Uli: ...but I gather he's pretty busy right now, so if Alain doesn't want to assume this role, I'm fine with having Mark do it if the others are. Alain: My Masters degree defense is finally over. I should have some free time now, until the next contract comes along (several week from now). A window of opportunity i guess you could say. Uli: Still, Alain being our community-guy, it's only natural to ask him first. Alain: Thanks again, Uli. It's nice to feel appreciated. Uli: As for voting systems, I think percentage is good since it gives a much clearer picture of opinion. But we have to intelligently evaluate votes. If a topic gets the majority because everyone gave it 20%, we should only see it as the lowest common denominator. Alain: I agree. Uli: So, I think we should do mere polls most of the time, limiting actual votes to business decisions and to finalizing decisions that have already been confirmed by polls. Alain: Are you saying that just to please me? ;-) Alain: We are on the same wavelenght, Uli. Oooohhhhhmmmm! ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
