The unfortunate fact is that some people already feel excluded from the community, with or without a vote. Having read some of the threads in question, I *suspect* it's because certain male developers communicate in a vigorous style which intimidates other developers (male female). Given the situation, consensus is already impossible; division pre-exists the vote. So it's incorrect to say that the vote *causes* a division in the community; if you read that thread carefully, you'd see the division is already there.

Well, since you are worried about the community spirit of sage-abuse, a good way to deal with that would be to make this google group public. There is nothing specified against that in the code that was adopted, so we have some freedom here. And given that the code states that only administrators will decide, this forum can probably be kept read-only for everybody, except for the owners. Obviously messages from non-administrators will be accepted one-by-one, as if nobody but administrators can write there it is rather useless to write to sage-abuse.

Re: [sage-devel] Re: What to do with sage-abuse
Here is an additional way to preserve the community spirit: After their discussion on sage-abuse, the administrators will reach a verdict. I assume that the judges will be carefully selected among the members of the community, yet their verdict will be pronounced on behalf of the community. Hence, we could do like for this very code: the verdict reached by the members of the jury could be presented to the community, and people would vote Yes/No to apply it. This way the decision would be taken by the community again, even though the wording (like for this code) and the choice of the sentence would only be the one of a reduced set of persons.

Re: [sage-devel] Cygwin(64) port status
Note that everything gets built, but at this point I don't promise it is really functional. Cygwin32 should be almost fully functional. Cygwin64 is very far from it (e.g. PARI builds but seems completely broken: it says 131 is not prime). Anyway getting back to a point where just typing make would finish without errors and build everything without requiring human interaction was a first step before debugging libraries behaving badly.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups sage-devel group.

Hi! Does anyone have another suggestion for this? William had posted this at some point in the long thread: Since I attempted to retract this proposal in light of Volker's sensible criticism, and people keep responding as if I didn't, let me officially retract this proposal. Instead I support what I think Volker suggested, which is using our existing completely open voting process on sage-devel, as we have been doing for years, for sage-abuse issues. But to make it clear that we care about sage-abuse issues and make clear the existence of sage-flame. This would mean it is a community decision and discussion and not done by group of select people.

I think that most people are ignoring the question because they don't know the answer. The only person who can say for sure would be Volker, and I don't know why he hasn't responded. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just Volker, not a larger group of people.
