election results

Hi all,

The election results are available at
http://pear.php.net/election/info.php?election=6&a
mp;results=1

However, you might notice a curious inaccuracy in the vote
tally
percentages.  Basically, it appears that the results
calculator is in
fact counting up the percentages based on votes in *all*
elections .
My quick math results in the following, accurate
percentages:

greg's constitution = 50 votes = 65.69% of the vote
anant's constitution = 17 votes = 22.37% of the vote
existing pear group = 2 votes = 2.63% of the vote
abstaining = 7 votes = 9.21% of the vote (the only accurate
percentage)

At this point, I would like to open up the floor for
discussion.

Based on this document:

http://pea
r.php.net/~greg/constitution.txt

How can we make it better before implementing it?

Thanks,
Greg

I think first...
some suggested web site changes to go along with this new
constitution...

- clean/improve the News section

I'm guessing there's no web admin to that. Probably just
editing the docs
in CVS? It should make it easy to announce things, and have
an organized
way to add/store docs somewhere. The 'hot off the press'
section on the
frontpage should just autopull the newest 2 or 3 items from
the News area.

- then post the constitution

Move the constitution document into the news area. Post a
news item about
it referring to the vote and results. (And it will then
automatically be in
the 'hot off the press' section.)

This way a copy of exactly what was voted in will be
immortalized before we
launch into implementation, and tuning, discussions.

actually... on a moment's more thought...

Docs like this should be in their own library area. And the
news section
should just refer/link to the library document. All
important documents
(governmental decisions and such) should be immortalized in
a reference
library.)

This library section can be managed with CVS and that would
simply the
software changes I suggested for the News section

Sounds sane.

I'd prefer to have "official documents" and stuff
like that in the
manual instead of some random news section.  The news
section is fine
for announcements (downtimes, spectacular new PEAR releases
etc.), but
for everything more official I suggest we use the manual.

Agreed. This was one of the major problems we had with the
old PEAR 
Group decisions.
