| The reason we are arguing so much about what goes where is that there was
| no planned areas for these in the original design.

[...]

| Perhaps we should just postpone any further features and changes to the
| main site till we analyse the survey data, work out a fresh set of design
| requirements, and then create a totally new design that will actually
have
| a plan for author bios, etc. I see no other way to do it.

| Until then, let's just vote on concepts (e.g., "we need a spot for an
| author's mini-biography") and not on the actual implementation (e.g.,
| "let's put it next to the title in a 300px box")

+1

| Once we get approval for ideas and concepts, we can then work them into
the
| design. If, however, most of us vote against a concept, then we'll all be
| wasting time and bandwidth arguing over the design of a concept that the
| majority were against anyway.
|
| So, Michele, it's probably a good idea to rephrase your vote questions
as:
|
| 1) Do you want author stats on the article page?

+1

| 2) Do you want author bio on the article page?

+1

| If the majority votes yes, we'll put that down as part of the new design
| requirement. We then vote on the design of it much later.
|
| Do you folks think I'm talking sense?

thanks
