Hi David. As always, thanks for the clue hammer.

Comparative effectiveness:

I took action at around 400,000 seconds.. but I guess I don't have to
tell you that.

I have a slight concern that we may end up a bit English heavy in the
results.. but not much of one: If enwiki had the same relative turnout
percentage as DE enwiki would be around 70% of the voters.... and
we're currently a long way from that.

I have no idea what the election outcome will be... which is far less
than I knew when turnout was really miserable. I don't know how these
people will vote, since as far as I can tell this is the first time a
lot of them have ever been asked about how we run things (most of the
eligible don't participate much in the normal community drama)...

I do know that is has been a wild ride.

Cheers.
