I _strongly_ disagree with this. Two reasons: 1) No way to make sure no one is cheating and not voting a bunch of times. 2) I don't think everyone voting is educated well enough on the topic. In the case coding questions like the macros vote we recently had, i didnt vote. i barely trust my own knowledge and i dont want to leave it up to others that might know less then me to make the decsion. In the case of a PC, I just dont think that a user that reads the message boards or the general mailing list will have enough info and feel for who should and shouldnt be a PC. In both cases people with education on the topic will probably outnumber those who do know about it, and might skew things very badly.

Please let me state my opinion about the voting process. I think the voting process should be open to developers and users of reactos. Although I do not develop fully on reactos, or for reactos, I am planning on developing open-sourced components for reactos that would be available through my website and possibly submitted as a package for ReactOS. I believe that developers and end users should be allowed to vote because they provide the most feedback on not only the technical but the aesthetics of ReactOS. I think putting voting in the forum and only allowing developers anonymous voting is stupid. I think logging each members votes should be logged as well as session variables and ipaddresses. This will allow the voting to stay true. Just a few thoughts... On Oct 19, 2005, at 4:39 AM, Murphy, Ged (Bolton) wrote:
This seems to have died a death again, so I'm going to bring it back up.
So far we have 2 viable options for the new voting system:
- Have a new section in the forums where only the developer group
has write access. Conduct all votes in there using the forums built-in voting system and posting mechanism for comments Vote results are stored in the database and everything is handled by the software All votes are anonymous / private and each developer has only one vote.
- Design our own voting system and integrate it into the website. This will be controlled via the global login system and all devs
will have access to initiate, vote and comment on votes.
Vote results need to be stored in a database and everythingshould handled by the software All votes are anonymous / private and each developer has only one vote.
