range based voting

[ben van 't ende]

Heyla,

I am community manager for the TYPO3 project. We are investigating the use of
range based voting in our project. I have understood you have used that in your
project. Is my info correct? And if so, how have you used it?

Kind Regards, Ben

Yes, the Fedora Project uses range-based voting, specifically in elections for governing
bodies (Fedora Board, FESCo, FAmSCo), and also for release names, and other types of
voting situations. 

Range-based voting is documented in the Fedora Elections Guide, here:

...but of course you can find lots of other pros and cons on google as well. :)

Cheers,

-Robyn

Just personal opinion, but I've found range voting requires a lot of
education and folks seem to either do it incorrectly or opt out of
voting because it confuses them.

Luckily we grew up being taught PR (proportional representation)
in school. Close enough to be siblings.
