[Foundation-l] Global rights proposal

Wed Jun 25 10:55:24 UTC 2008

There is the new issue to be discussed: How to vote about policy proposals? [1]

According to the present discussion, there are two possible approaches
for voting about global policies, with variants. It should be
discussed separately, too: --~~~~
* Person-based: --~~~~
** Every Wikimedian has right to vote (under some conditions, of
course: total number of edits, recent number of edits and similar).
--~~~~
** Only admins (bureaucrats, checkusers, oversights, stewards) has
right to vote. --~~~~
* Project based: --~~~~
** One project one vote. --~~~~
** Some way of positive discrimination of smaller projects, but not
"one project one vote" principle. It was discussed earlier that it may
be some kind logarithmic scale related to the number of very active
contributors or similar. --~~~~
