[ruby-talk:01744] Re: comp.lang.ruby RFD: withdraw or proceed?
From: Dat Nguyen <thucdat@hotmail.com> > Q1: How many votes are there currently? Good question, but I don't really have any good idea. That's one reason for my note. For yes votes, I'm sure we can count on the 10-20 people that have posted on comp.lang.misc and the 10-20 people that post most often on this mail list (which overlap), but I have no idea how many more people who read this would vote, since most mail list readers don't participate in discussions. I suppose we might get another 10-20 yes votes from friendly people on comp.lang.perl, comp.lang.python, and comp.lang.java.programmer. From news.groups we might get 40 or 50 no votes and maybe 20 or 30 yes votes. All of these are wild guesses. > Q2: If withdraw now, what to do to make sure in 3 months there will be more > than enough votes? Use comp.lang.misc as much as possible. Also set up a 2-way gateway between ruby-talk ML and comp.lang.misc (which would put all ruby-talk ML traffic on comp.lang.misc, and which would copy anything in comp.lang.misc with ruby|Ruby|RUBY in the subject line to the ruby-talk ML). > Q3: If the Japanese Ruby community participates in the voting, are there > enough votes? That could be a tremendous help. If I understand correctly, Matz will be setting up a Japanese-English machine translation system between the English and Japanese mail lists, and will also be setting up a 2-way gateway between the English ruby-talk ML and comp.lang.ruby. So technically, all Japanese Ruby ML users would be prospective (although indirect) users of comp.lang.ruby, and should thus be regarded as legitimate voters for the comp.lang.ruby issue.
