Not being an admin myself, I don't get a vote, but I do have a comment on the Voting policy as cited. The policy currently states "When a decision is put to a vote, the decision will be finalized when either: (a) All seven administrators have voted. or (b) A week has passed, at least four votes have been received, and there is a clear majority." My problem is with the notion of "clear majority". Three of four - probably yes, three of five - probably not. Four of seven - probably not. I suggest a clearer requirement of "by a majority of two or more". Just my $.02 From: Demian Katz [mailto:dem...@vi...] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 9:30 AM To: vuf...@li... Subject: [Vufind-admins] FW: SearchObject update (and important Advanced Searching question) As Greg rightly pointed out on the tech list, we have an issue worth a quick admin vote. Should Greg commit the Search Object code he posted last week? It isn't quite complete and will introduce some new problems to the trunk code, but it also fixes a number of old problems, and it will be easier to test and collaborate on fixes/improvements if it is committed somewhere. Please vote for one of these options: A) Commit to trunk B) Commit to new branch C) Do not commit D) Other Voting policy is here -- this hasn't been discussed at great length, but nobody has objected, so it's official for now: http://www.vufind.org/wiki/administration_policies_and_procedures#voting_procedureadministrative_decision-making I can create a LimeSurvey poll if everyone feels it's necessary, but for starters I think we might as well just vote on the list. Please vote as soon as you can so that we can move forward on this issue. Obviously, discussion is encouraged if you don't feel the decision is straightforward. I'll make my own vote in a separate message to keep this short. thanks, Demian From: Greg Pendlebury [mailto:Gre...@us...] Sent: Sunday, October 18, 2009 9:32 PM To: Demian Katz; vuf...@li... Subject: RE: SearchObject update (and important Advanced Searching question) Hi Demian, I've been putting out some metaphorical forest fires here lately, so forgive me for not responding to you emails. I've been keeping them however and my list of things to fix in the SearchObject is not being forgotten. I'm happy to put it into the trunk, but I guess it's up to the new admin group to decide. It will break some parts of trunk until it's finished, but 1) if it's the agreed way forward and 2) if it's holding up the inclusion of work based on it then there's an argument for it. As you say, I think it fixes more then it breaks at this stage. Results.php was intended to be a template on how the other screens need to be adapted.
