Hi!
The idea Stas proposed of leaving the votes untouched and just hide
those specific votes during rendering of the vote results is very
silly to me.
Manually summerizing the votes like has been done in the past on many
RFCs into "with karma" and "without" results would make much more
sense to me, especially since there are so many registered votes
already.Well, yes, maybe that'd be even better. If anybody with shell access could
get me the raw data files at the end of the vote (should be in data/meta
directory with .doodle extension) I could easily write a script that
summarizes it.That won't be a problem.
Matching against SVNROOT/global_avail shouldn't be a problem either to
apply whatever SVN restriction rules needed.
The patch fixed a bug where the voting mechanism was not in sync with the
passed voting RFC. It's closer now to most peoples interpretation of said
RFC. Changing this would, I'm afraid, require changing the RFC which I
suppose means an amendment [with a new vote] of some sort. I don't know how
bureaucracies work but imagine that'd be what is needed here.
Regards,
Philip
