So what's the status on the logo contest, any word on when the results will be tallied?
Hi Christopher,
Sometime next week.
Alright, we might need a little more time. Kalin (the one who volunteered on doing the tally), sent me a tally. However, IRV poses a special challenge because of the number of entries involved. It would be nearly impossible to get a "majority vote". Hence, we would have to do more tallies, iteratively until either the winner has a "majority vote" or we reach the 5th iteration (since we have 5 preferences for each voter). I'm guessing we'll reach a 5th iteration. <<<This makes me think that IRV is not suitable for this type of voting, and we should reconsider next time we have to do this again.>>> Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
