I was hoping no one would notice, however, because that gets tedious (although once you have the ballots, it can be automated to a large extent). At some point, we should re-examine policy and run some controls to see if a voting method more closely designed for what we are actually doing might be more appropriate. In the middle of a voting cycle is probably not the right time for that, though, no matter what makes things easiest for me. > --=20 > Ciaran McCreesh > Mail : ciaran dot mccreesh at blueyonder.co.uk >=20 >=20 Thanks, I guess :), Ferris --=20 Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) Developer, Gentoo Linux (Devrel, Sparc) --=-1l/FcSOz6RJllK7v0rSi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4-ecc0.1.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBE25X7Qa6M3+I///cRAuHwAKDlc6kmGc3gvyXOocV9pfKC2utNtgCeJ++C KNZXKCkBO53PEQTWHFdxrlY= =V7Jt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1l/FcSOz6RJllK7v0rSi-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
