Andrei Alexandrescu:
So, polls would be very useful to gauge what people want. That's very
solid information.
I want to add two small things:
1) Votes must follow a period of discussions, and possibly even a summary that
lists the most common ideas. Otherwise lot of people will base their vote on an
insufficient level of knowledge of the topic :-)
2) Votes (or proposals) may be all equal, with always a "weight" of 1.
OR they may have a variable weight, that for example comes from the estimated
experience (or importance) of a person on a topic. For example once I have seen
Guido V. Rossum vote for something with with a weight of 1000 (it essentially
meant that his decision was the final one). It means that for example I can
accept that a vote by Bartoz regarding some concurrency topic is much more
heavy (important) than mine, because I know very little about that topic
compared to him. In practice to keep things practical most people have a weight
of 1, with few known exceptions (for example if you define the API of regex you
may have a weight of 4 or 5).
Do you know such a poll system that's free? I just created a poll, but
forgot about these points...
