Hoi,SecurePoll is being localised at translatewiki.net. At this moment there
are 35 languages ready for this vote and for 65 languages there is some
localisation. Please check out if your community will be enabled by the
software to vote.

I have checked and can confirm that we are dealing with THREE seats.
It was a cut/paste error (from last year's document to this year's),
for which I take full responsibility. I'm updating the documentation
now. :-)

My understanding is that SecurePoll can handle the type of vote we're
dealing with, but I'll certainly double-check based on your comments.

Have you discussed software requirements with developers?
I'm not sure the new SecurePoll software is yet set up to allow for
preferential voting (either on the input side or the tallying side).
Also, we had a number of problems with tallying [1]. Some of which
was a result of essentially overlo

Ah, OK, sorry for my misunderstanding of the question.
Indeed, we had that same discussion amongst the committee. In the
end, the vote timing is driven by Wikimania and the need to purchase

The reason not to have it in two weeks is that it generally takes
longer than that to effectively translate both the policy pages and
the candidate statements to allow as many people to participate in as
many languages as possible. Two weeks would almost guarantee a

Hm, that was also the information I got :)
Besides that, I personally feel that one week in the middle of the
vacation is somewhat short for an internet election. Is there an
urgent reason not to have it for two weeks? And good luck to count and
confirm the votes within two days time! :o I'd find

Not to create a self-fulfilling prophecy here, but I suspect that 90%
or more of those affected by this issue will not care or will not

Hello,
The relicensing process is underway. This means we have only 2 months
to help GFDL wikis that want Wikipedia compatibility to follow suit.
The clause that allows GFDL wikis to be relicensed to CC-BY-SA 3
