Launching a new projet is something extremely
important. A voting bar set at 50% is something I find
plain wrong.
I agree completely.

Though it is too late for this time, I would be very
glad if next time a project is proposed, a more
consensual procedure is adopted. And at least
possibility to agree on some points, and refuse
others.
Yes, we need to develop procedures for this type of thing. We also need to
build-in ways to help develop consensus and measure the level of
support/dissent. Approval voting would help with that.
I know that in any decision the global community will
adopt, there will be some happy and some unhappy
people, and this is also why, though we must sometimes
rely on voting procedure because of community size, I
see voting as a bad choice. In such a vote, with a 50%
barrier, that mean a project may be lauched with as
much as 49 people very unhappy among 100. I do not see
that as a positive move *at all*.
Exactly.
