Re: The Democratic Answer to new home - VOTE



Well, I've taken the liberty to quickly tally the comments that have appeared so far, and understand I'm taking a liberty here in interpreting comments as votes; this in no way of course represents an official count, or even an unofficial count, it's just a way of trying to get a "sense of the meeting" (I was brought up Quaker) to this point. If anyone feels I've misrepresented your position, please correct me, although as I said this isn't an official count in any way. If anything, at this point, it's more of a compendium of early thoughts and concerns, and may be useful for helping set up questions/categories if anyone's going to set up an official survey using Survey Monkey or whatever. (And note, these are not exhaustive or mutually exclusive, just a summary of the comments so far, FWIW.)

Well, if there's software available, that would be great, but if not I don't mind counting the votes and providing a data summary.

I agree Eric,



Is there some software that can be used? I’d hate to be the one who counts the votes!

While time may be a limiting factor to a degree that Gordon is best to advise us about, the way to move to a new hosting solution is by vote. Could even be representational; years member x post / # of flames that were started by your post x number of post that actually helped. Mostly tongue in cheek on that but a simple poll should be able to be taken. Google, Yahoo, Freelist, Write in. Open for several days, then make it happen.
