Re: [Rails-devel] 1880: President Certificates

[Michael A. <out...@gm...>]

One way that it could be done would be to start with a 20% share defined in
the XML file, then if during the floatCompany call it was determined I
needed a 30% (or 40%) share instead, I could up the shares value in the
certificate and scrap one (or two) of the 10% shares.

The only problem with that is that it requires the addition of a
"setShares" call inside "PublicCertificate", which in turn invalidates all
the checking that is done to make sure that exactly 100% of a company is
available.
