Fine with me if the three potential
participants discuss it among themselves. As long as they don’t go online
with their discussion or divulge of the result of their discussion prematurely
but only do so if they’ve come to an agreement (even if that agreement is
to ask an independent person to set up a vote).
Otherwise … yeah, you guessed it:
Not impressed with today’s mailing list discussion. My humble suggestion:
Let someone else proofread your contribution to a disputed argument before you
hit the <send> button (and better still: if possible, sleep over it just
once).
Still hoping for a good and peaceful
outcome of this, and all the best to you three!

hi Alex, et al.,
I don't know the right way to do this, but to avoid a lot
of unnecessary debates over who should go and how we decide whose going; I
think it's best if the participants themselves first discuss what they want
off-list. If the participants are comfortable with discussing and
deciding who should go -- well and good. If they can not decide, then they can
request for a broader input from the mailing list.
I don't know how we will do it, but i am ready to discuss
this with Oscar & Alex first (off-list).

who has the right to vote. Which brings me to the question: is everyone OK with
Grace overseeing the voting process or do you want the Kiswahili Wikipedia
Challenge participants to decide for themselves?
