The popularity of the motion is precisely the thing we wish to vote on. The decision to create the current setup was done privately in a very small group, including people that work for the company that benefits from taking this decision. I have said that a decision in such circumstances is wrong, and was asked by Bruce to provide evidence that anybody cares. I requested we find evidence as a formal poll for the reasons you suggest, and others. I would still be happier if this was a formal poll rather than as an email from me, but if you would like me to raise this on other lists, please confirm that. The vote was requested on the advocacy list (which is where concerns were originally raised by Andreas) so that I am not accused of grandstanding. ISTM a valid list for this vote. Hackers and General have specific subsets of the community also. I'm happy to take this to any forum you request. (I would note that the group that took the original decision is an even tinier minority of the community than this list). > For that matter, *any* opinions about whether to change the download > page or not need to be informed by the question of what resources we'd > lose if it's not hosted at EDB.com. Chicken and egg. It was suggested that I was the only person that held the view as stated in the motion and was challenged to prove otherwise. Once we have established that people care we can then look for possible solutions. > People need to know what they're > voting on, and right now they don't.

You are the only person to mention that the ballot seems unclear, out of more than 20 people responding so far, so there is no evidence to support your view. If you choose not to vote, that is up to you. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Training, Services and Support
