Odd that when I checked the poll

Oliver, do you recall "total votes"
from last year's poll? Partly just curious,
and partly wanted a sanity check
that
this Eclipse polling was working
similar to the doodle poll.
Doodle says that there were 153 participants in the poll last
year. My remembery tells
me that there were more, but who am I to argue with doodle ;)
I find the 2000 number highly suspicious.
I think this is a clear
case of "no
clear winner" so we should have a run off vote,
Note that we had two rounds last year too. The first was mostly to
get peoples attention.
And that'd be (at least)
between the
top two contenders ... Indigo and Isaac.
So, can we "live with" either
of these choices? See bug 306864 for
community thoughts on some reasons
to
exclude one or both.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=306864
From my read, there is no clear
reason
in the (negative) comments there
to exclude either ... but, I'm not a
great judge of "marketing issues" so feel free
to state your views.
Remember that Ian will want to check trademarks, copyrights, etc.
before we can adopt one or
the other. If it is down to just a few, maybe Ian should check before
the runoff occurs.
Second question. In
theory, we could
include, say 5 choices in run off vote, adding Ion, Iris, and Isis
The logic being is that the
preference
of the group might still be for one of those, if all those
in the minority choices all happened
to favor the same one of those. The only
problem in doing that, is we might
still
not end up with a strict majority, and might have to have another
run off if there was a close vote.
In
theory.
So, let me know if you have a view
on
completing this. If I hear nothing from you today, then tomorrow I'll
start
a run-off vote
with the top two, Indigo and Isaac,
just to state the default action if none of you have a preference on
how to vote, or any to exclude.
I suggest just the top two for voting.
Thanks,
