It would be very easy to spend the time available sodding about with a system for combining votes without ever getting round to giving out the money. ... > Your underlying assumption seems to be that the current rating > system is not fair. Not really. The only reason I posted was that Moray appeared to be sifting over the corpse of one of my old suggestions, and seemed to have missed the point that I was trying to get across at the time. So perhaps I was dredging up assumptions I had a few years ago, but I was mostly starting from the concern that it might seem unfair or simply opaque to those not involved, and pondering ways to make it so that it would be easy to see that the process had been designed to be transparently fair. If the team from the last couple of years think that there's now enough diversity, then that's fine as far as I'm concerned. Also, given that I've repeatedly demonstrated that I'm incapable of getting myself organised enough to implement any of my mad ideas, I should probably shut up and let people get on with their difficult jobs. I _might_ even have time to help this year. (I never apply for travel sponsorship) Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd. http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND
