I, as a voter, would also like to have ample time for discussion about various topics after the IRC debate. Given the spread we have to many time zones, and the speed with which discussions progress (not to be confused with the number of e-mails per second), a week for discussion really does sound to me like too little time. Hurried campaigning does not seasoned choices make. -- Debian is a beast that speaks with many voices -- Richard Braakman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
