Back in September Craig Russell made a proposal on this list to adopt a new vote format for podlings [1]:
> I'm proposing that for votes, that a standard form be used for > registering and tallying votes. For registering votes, include > the ASF id in the vote line, e.g. > > +1 clr (IPMC) > > For tallying votes (in the [RESULT][VOTE] thread): > > Vote passes: > +1 clr (IPMC) > +1 sammy (PPMC) > +1 jules > +1 jmclean (IPMC) > +1 cdutz (IPMC) > no -1 or +-0 votes Over a dozen people liked the idea. A few people said we should not impose it on top-level projects. Some people suggested writing articles. But as far as I can tell no action was taken. I propose that the Incubator PMC requires that format for podling release votes (i.e. for votes on this list and on podlings' dev list). We cannot impose the practice on top-level projects, nor should we try. If and when those podlings graduate to top-level projects they can choose whether to continue the practice. The IPMC has a greater problem than any other PMC because such a large number of people participate in votes. So, let's adopt this rule and get our own house in order. What do you all think? If there is agreement I can start a vote thread.
