Yes, it was reading jmb's mail and mentally thinking, hey, why is the timestamp shown as 20 mins before the end of the election. Action-item: make countify print 'FINAL' stats, and modify the cronjob to clearly state 'INTERIM' Later goals should really be moving the ballot submission/collection system to something like Debian's balloting system that requires GPG-signing ballots (and optionally encryption). We can keep votify for tabulation or switch to a voting engine, since I'm not sure if Debian uses the same STV tabulation method we do. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
