Vote plans for OOo proposal
First some current stats:
73 committers.
18 currently have iclas on file.
29 have openoffice.org email addresses.
8 have ibm email addresses.
8 mentors
Overall, it looks to me like discussion is slowing, and generally
tending towards people supporting starting a vote at this time. There
are plenty of new people here, and I don't want to create any
surprises, so I will review my understanding and plans and solicit
feedback.
Unless I see pushback that merits waiting further, I plan to call for
a vote approximately 24 hours from now (noon EDT). The vote will run
for 72 hours. Yes, that will span a weekend, such is not uncommon.
If such is expected to present a hardship to anybody, I ask for them
to speak now.
Binding votes are ones that are cast by Incubator PMC members. Quorum
is 3 binding +1 yes votes. Once quorum is met, if more +1 votes are
received than -1, the vote carries. Otherwise, the vote fails.
If any of this is unclear or if I got anything wrong, please speak up.

Subscribing to changes of a specific page, such as
<http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OpenOfficeProposal>
seem to work just fine, however.
Possible stop-gap for this particular activity?

Presumably the wiki locks, if not physically, then at least by convention,
when the call for a vote has been made?

There are still people signing up as initial committers.
Is it a sign to wait a bit longer with the vote?

Please count my +1 vote. I will be traveling, and I don't know what my Internet access will be during the voting timeframe.
There are a lot of issues to resolve, but from what I have heard on- and off-line, they can be worked out on the project's own mailing lists.
