I just want to add a little bit.
If I learned anything from the process experiment (are the archives
still up? --I could never remember the URL.) I learned that in a
group this large and loose, simplicity is also very important. I
think that our voting system at the process was a bit too complex.
Having an application that handles start & end times & tallying would
be very very very very very helpful. ;-)
There are qualities I think that are important to processes
(including but not limited to voting):
- simplicity -- a group so large and loose needs to be able to
understand a process with a minimum of study.
- fairness -- a process should be set up to be as fair as possible to
all participants.
- documentation -- everything needs to be written down clearly and
kept in an easy to find location.
Thank you all,
Erika
