Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Meaning of the Vote Values

[Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eike, 

This pretty much how I see it. I use No_Vote to mean I haven't voted yet -- and I plan to give a score to each submission.

Even if you have limited knowledge about a subject, you can still vote for it (after all, we need to make a decision on each one). I will often look to other things too (who is the speaker, was the abstract compelling, do I think I'd learn something). 

Cheers,

Ian

Hi,

I think if you do not vote (==0) this vote is not included in the average. I typical don't vote on stuff which I personally have no knowledge about and interest in.

Best regards, Lars

Hi,

This is my first participation in a program committee and I am a little unsure how the six vote values (including no vote) should be chosen. So far I used this scheme:

5 - Must see
4 - Wanna see
3 - Average / no strong opinion
2 - Don't like it so much
1 - Hate it
0 / no vote (yet) - Reminder that voting is still needed

But then I read Pascal's wiki entry about no vote being equivalent to no strong opinion. So my question is: Does it matter what semantics I apply to my choices, as long as they're consistent and strictly monotone?

Cheers
