Yes If some people don't like it, they won't use it. I doubt it will find its way in highly technical haskell core team, but it could appear for fun here and there in web material. For example, I think we could have 3 variants of it, reflecting the haskell level (beginner, confirmed, guru).

I closed the poll, it's showing 51% no and 50% yes, 129 to 128 respectively. I also found out you can vote as many times as you want without restriction, with no IP logging whatsoever. This is why I don't like putting polls on places where users regularly use anonymity for their own agendas, e.g. Reddit, which is when it seems most of the votes came from. From the public email poll, there were 4 no votes and 8 yes votes, and from the original thread on a mascot, there were about 15 people liking the idea of a mascot, and less than half of this openly saying against the idea. I would say the next step might be create a poll using polldaddy, but even filtering IP addresses wouldn't stop people from using a workaround with Tor. With email, you can see how many people are registering and immediately voting. Anyway, I'm not sure how to proceed, but I'm going going to call it a night and a week with this, since it's going to be long next couple of days.

The reasons I created a poll using the email method are: 1. Typically, mail programs have methods of keeping emails separated by topic, so your mailbox isn't littered with just one topic. 2. It's quick with little hassle, just respond. But, you have a point about reaching a wider audience. My only concern is how many people outside of the Haskell community are going to vote. Without methods of recognizing who's spamming the results, it's difficult to really judge how accurately the poll reflects the community's views. Polldaddy.com has nice spam filters. I'm guessing posting functional Javascript to the wiki isn't possible though, this would require someone with write access to the site. -- Heath Matlock +1 256 274 4225 -- Heath Matlock +1 256 274 4225 -- Heath Matlock +1 256 274 4225 ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
Re: [Haskell-cafe] Poll: Do you want a mascot?
Yes 2011/11/24 Conrad Parker con...@metadecks.org: I wouldn't mind getting a lamb-astronaut tshirt with a lambda-bind logo on it for my kid, and maybe next month a lion-skateboarder with a lambda-bind on his deck, and then maybe something with a dinosaur. I guess I don't really want a mascot either, but I like this artwork. Conrad.

No. I also really think this poll should have been in a web site somewhere and not on this list.
