there are for voting: we require at least 15 votes and a majority of "yes" votes. Of course a won voting doesn't make your tag "approved" or used by the community. > 2.

First time I hear this. Don't know exacly where I heard that but as Pieren said if the proposal is good enough you don't need the votes of the authors. What a shame because then it would have been a majority (by 1 vote and not counting the abstains) but still not approved ;-) Anyway : We'll work on a better proposal but it may take some time. Patience is a vitrue ;-) Cheers PeeWee32 2013/12/15 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> > > 2013/12/15 Pee Wee <piewi...@gmail.com> >> >> 1.
