1) I did not expect that picking proportional representation would change the UI so dramatically. And since I did not know what it would look like, I could hardly describe it in detail. 2) The UI in general could be improved, to put it mildly. Even for "normal" votes there is the potential point of confusion that more preferred candidates are higher visually, but have a lower numerical rank. So a statements like "X ranks higher than Y" could potentially be interpreted either way. 3) People generally dislike parsing long detailed explanations. Making the text longer could cause more voters to misinterpret it, or not bother reading it at all. So while I'm all for improving descriptions, it's not all that easy to do. Patches welcome. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
