Another quick point to say that using the voting facility on
the board would remove the issue of giving a 'project
secretary' power in a secret vote. The software would control
that ..... And software doesn't lie or cheat :)
But the database administrator (i.e.: me) could... You're just moving the
power from the project secretary to the dba.
In the way the phpbb forums voting works, each voter
will
only ever be able to make 1 vote, even if they have multiple
usernames, as only 1 of those usernames will be in the
'developer' group.
You can even go as far as making the forum hidden from
everyone not in the developer group ..... Although I think
this is wrong, and should be read only to everyone else.
But every other developer still gets to see my vote I think? Doesn't sound
like a true secret ballot.
