Ted Dunning created WHIMSY-297:
----------------------------------

             Summary: Never, never say "tabled"
                 Key: WHIMSY-297
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-297
             Project: Whimsy
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Ted Dunning


The secretary tool in whimsy uses the term "table" to mean that a decision on an item is deferred. Unfortunately, that means exactly the opposite in British English.

It would be much better to use the term "deferred" to avoid confusion.

Here is an example from a recent board report:
{quote}The following resolutions were passed unanimously:

Establish the Apache Submarine Project (Wangda Tan, VP)
 Establish the Apache SINGA Project (Wang Wei, VP)

The Establish the Apache Petri Project resolution was *tabled*
