Now that the voting is over, I have a hard time understanding the
rationale behind some decisions. Could those that voted "no" please
explain their reasons or answer the my questions on the following
matters? Thanks!
3) Create a welcome package
Do you prefer new users see a completely empty desktop on first start?
And if so, why?
I didn't vote on that one, not because i didn't agree with it but
because there was no adopter and i didn't want it to block/delay the
release.
5) Make sure that a live Haiku install can be updated
I think it would be pretty bad if you cannot update your Haiku
installation anymore. But maybe I'm missing something here. Or do you
think it won't matter, since you always can install a new version over
the old one (by booting a new CD) without destroying the contents of
the partition?
Same thing, it seemed to me there hadn't been enough discussion on it
and thus didn't know the amount of work needed. Maybe a description
summarizing the work involved would have helped my choice.
11) Recruit release manager
Do you think we should and can just share the work, or what's your
intention by saying no here?
Didn't vote either. I don't have enough info about this proposition, i
don't remember seeing it described. Could we detail the process
concerning this branch and its maintenance?
35) Include a MDR version with SSL support
Why (on earth) would we want to release a version of MDR without SSL
support? It's a compile time option, and it's already there and
working.
Same here, lack of info/knowledge in the subject. But if it was clear
that the work was already done, i would have voted yes.
So to summarize, i lacked some info, maybe it's my fault and didn't look
enough for the answers to my questions.
Some propositions were really no brainer to vote for, some were out of
my competence, some were lacking discussion.
Well, i didn't want to discuss the voting process (or the propositions)
while it was taking place, i played by the rules, knowing some things
would have to be re-voted and even that we would refine the decision
making process, after all, it's the first time we do this.
It could be nice if one could quickly create a voting page, with yes/no
voting and range voting and commenting, maybe some tools already exists.
By the way, thanks Niels for putting this in place, if i can be of any
help for the next one.. :)
Regards,
Alex
