A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Since we have written and seconded however many times a formal proposal now, I think the discussion of several days will be (a) skippable for those who care to skip and (b) generally academic, and not direclty affecting the proposal, unless we find another verbal ambiguity as was just corrected into post #7228.
So I can live with 3 more days of discussion; I'm just going to skip it all. Laura, you want to post to Press? Anyone?
[Edited to add: thanks Jesse.
[And to add: Gar, I'm in agreeance with Jesse on 15 being too high a number, and ironic, given the whole "gang of 14" discussion we just had. So, let's just leave the proposal as is. OK?]
Can I just confirm that discussion will go until 12:01 am Sunday, board time, at which point voting will start and go until 11:59 pm Tuesday, board time?
Um-- I am actually just the secretary of the proposal Gar.
I think that can come up during formal discussion if people want to change it.
Yeah, I believe the discussion period includes potential changes to the proposal.
Jesse, I like those time-numbers.
I have gathered the impression that 'the median' in English parlance is 'the central reservation.'
Not in any England I know.
Thanks Jesse. I think I better work for a while. I'll be back to convince everyone to vote my way later.
One other nitpick - It doesn't mention anywhere in the proposal that we'll use the average. We should add a note that the "winning" numbers will be the average of all numbers entered into each box.
OK, now that we're Actually Discussing this, I'd like to suggest that we total all the numbers for each question and divide by the number of votes.
;)
