Subject: RESULTS INFORMATION

Ok, in a moment I am going to post the results from the first round of
voting. For the most part, everything passed with flying colours. Only
one item was rejected and a few more require fixing.

The first post will be a summary. It will list all of the numbers for
all of the votes. The second will contain all of the FIX suggestions for
all of the items.

If the item requires fixing, the author has until November 12 to get a
replacement in again. Then we will vote on those few again.

If the item is accepted, the author can apply the FIX suggestions and
send in a replacement without having it revoted on. You have until all
voting is completed to get that done (but don't delay!)

Methods of counting votes:

My vote counting method was not perfect and I do not guarantee total
accuracy. The program I ran the votes through performed the following
operations:
It counted the number of YES votes appearing alone on a line
It counted the number of NO votes appearing alone on a line
It counted the number of FIX votes appearing alone on a line

The compilation of FIX votes was put together by hand.

If, for some reason, yes, no, or fix appeared on a line with other
material, or if it happened to be part of a fix description but on a line
by itself, numbers could have become skewed. I think they are accurate
enough for our purposes, though, since only one item was rejected, and
rather overwhelmingly. If you question my accuracy, i can make the raw
votes available.

I'm not perfect, so don't get too pissed if I'm wrong, there were almost
60 items with an average of around 30 people per item. Lots of things to
keep tabs on.

If you have any questions, just ask.
