In previous years, Jorge has found that mild poking works well, so we stick with that. [election hat off] Personally, I'm more than happy to send out one email every 48hrs for two weeks if it gets more people to vote. However, that probably isn't the case.

Few people really wrote a manifesto. Hard to vote for or against someone when you don't know where they stand on various issues, and what their plan of action is. --=20 ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
