Well, what I am trying to say is, that if the quorom limit equals the lim= it=20 for +1 votes, there is a design flaw in the system. (Not discussing moral= s,=20 should do or not, will do, can not and so on.) The higher you place the=20 quorom, the more you favour the "-1" side. If the quorom is 100%, you see= the=20 obvious, if it is 0% you only need a single vote. If you truly believe in= an=20 active PMC, put the quorom at 0% and allow 2 weeks for voting. No PMC mem= ber=20 should be away for more than 2 weeks, right... I would suggest that the qurom is lowered a bit, perhaps 30%, making the = use=20 of the -1 vote explicit, i.e. you can not practically "vote down" by not=20 voting at all.=20 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: cocoon-dev-unsubscribe@xml.apache.org For additional commands, email: cocoon-dev-help@xml.apache.org
