I think your proposal was a bit stronger than that. >My vote would be collected with all the other votes and >the collective vote would determine the funded projects. If my >project does survive the vote, I accept that as part of the voting >process, without asking for my money back. This isn't what I remember hearing at all. It's starting to sound vaguely like the vote-tokens of yesteryear, which drowned in nearly the same level of fury. >My point is that work funded from a large budget should be determined >by the donors, not Jordan or other members of the core team. That's >the purpose of a vote. If Jordan and other members of the core team >don't like that model, I expect to see other movements which do. Jordan doesn't like the model. From what I can tell, nobody in -core likes the model. Nate doesn't like it, neither do I. Mike Smith proposed a much better model; mail him your check and he'll give you as much time as he can.
