Hi Rob ,
you have posted good points about sw decisions and polls ,
and looking well the only I think I can answer clearly is that one above -
for the others, it seems your arguments are far better that I'd have to talk .
Maybe if you explain in details your swplan for the members, it will make the results of poll
more efficient. And I wonder you could help a lot too in practical programming .
The option for Win98 as default was only based on buildcheapeeg polls results
( in the date of schedule, but valid for today ) not on internal votations ( and also for interface choice- RS232 ) .
If the group will agree that polls shall not be used , and decide for anyother
system of decision , I'll try follow it in the tasks that I can ( and like,of course! )
But that would require that the group made a poll to evaluate the value
of poll like decision tool :-)
I used buildcheapEEG poll that Kenneth created, because I did not find any other way (until now) to pick up the tasks for initial openeeg routines .
As I'm not an authority in sw (just a guy trying programming ) I will
wait for group's decision, and try implement it of the best way I can.
( I know it sounds absurd, but I adore absurds :-)
I understand some angles of your view :
( like the Nietzche paradox:
imagine a barman voting for decision of security systems of nuclear weapons )
but I don''t have any reasonable solution right now . I can't imagine the vote of
anyone having less value than the other (even that he knows less than others ) .
I guess I couldn't answer big deal, and hope other members can better it!
Thanks for attention , Rob, and, please, don't give up of us !
Despite the baby steps, we're walking !
