Re: The Democratic Answer to new home - VOTE
Katharine,
Nice work! But if you don't mind for version 0.1 please delete my name from the "pro Yahoo/Google" group. I will naturally go with what majority decides, but I don't like Yahoo and Google is probably not much better.

Thanks, John, for that correction (I was working fast and apologize for mistakes). I've been working with wikis a lot lately, and my first thought was that I'd just go back and take your name off that category, and then I realized, oh, I can't do that. That's the one advantage of some other formats, you can edit your posts after the initial posting, but I still like the text-based email system better overall. Anyway, correction noted. and I've changed it on my tally sheet even if I can't change it on my post, thanks.

Katharine,
I haven't voted for yahoo or google. My favoured choice at the moment is
'wait for university-based people to try to come up with a university'.
Having said that if the list minder loses her/his job we would be back to
the current situation.
John.

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.
