I dislike Plone (or rather, I dislike Zope), have previously decided against using it and have migrated sites at work away from it, so I don't have a server running it now. Give me the necessary access to the plone server(s) used and I'll install and configure a voting product on it. > > The ballot looks very strange. What method is being used for this > > vote?

What do you suggest we do if there > isn't a clear winner? This isn't the first time we've held a vote. The most recent one was March 2007, asking how soon people wanted 3.0. The result was 1 vote for quick-bugfix-and-release, 9 votes for within-3-months, and 7 votes for when-it's-ready. I think I remember some votes before that. Were none official? As to what happens if we don't get a clear winner, I'm reminded of my dean at university who said that one of the most difficult things was having scientists go to him, asking for help in salvaging some results from their badly-designed experiments, and he had to tell them that the only way of answering their original question was to start again with a better design. The experiments could still tell them something about the question, often enough to get some paper in some obscure journal, but not the answers they wanted. So... If there isn't a clear winner, we should let all three improve their designs in light of the feedback and then use Single Transferable Vote to choose between them. > > Many of the URLs on the demo sites appear to be different to the live > > site.
