Perhaps it's time to remove the link to the voting booth from the home
page?

Yes, it is. I have a patch for it if any root wants to apply it to
the subversion repository and regenerate the web site. Let me know
if you want it.

(It really shouldn't be that hard to comment out a single line of the
page. Just do it, already.)

The patch I sent does comment out the line of code. Please patch
the related file in the repository so we can keep all the changes
in in sync and up to date.

(Re resp:102 - I agree, seems like overkill.)

I disagree. It is not overkill.

If the benefits of version control aren't clear, then I'm left to wonder
how much programming project experience staff have in a multi-programmer
and multi-file environment.

Yes, the benefits of version control are clear to me. However, we are
talking about simply adding <!-- and --> around a block of text. If
they get lost, it's a simple matter to re-add them. For that, version
control, of any kind, is overkill.

So, you'd use version control for some changes and not others? That
makes no sense. And not using version control at all makes less
sense.

resp:109 the difficulty might be in synchronizing stuff? If you add
comments by bypassing svn, when you next rsync, won;t those comments get
clobbered?

Minor stuff that didn't really matter if it got clobbered, I'd simply
make sure that all concerned knew about them and worry about
version-control later. ("We don't need no stinkin' source!" as one
programmer of my acquaintance once put it.)
Make this trivial change on the fly, then patch and submit a
version-controlled copy.
If I were doing this stuff regularly, I might even batch up a bunch of
trivial changes. If they got clobbered, I'd cuss at myself and submit
my updates. :)

So is Dan Cross intent on maintaining his seat on the Grex board? I
ask this because he stated emphatically last month that he would leave
Grex if there was continued discussion citing the leaked wikileaks
documents, as he said it could be problematic to his military status.
Then Mary said she was going to enter yet another wikileaks item in the
new agora and he responded that he was in fact leaving, and hasn't
posted since. It reasonable to ask if he intends to continue being
part of the board of the corporation that sponsors grex when it is
clear that the wikileaks items will continue.
If Dan has in fact gone away for good he should at least go ahead and
resign his seat rather than create needless potential quorum problems
at future meetings.

Why should Dan give a rats ass about Grex at this point? It would be
*nice* of him to resign formally if he really doesn't intend to come
back. But if I were treated the way he was treated, I would just leave
and not concern myself with the problems of the assholes I left behind.

Read resp 0 again: "Dan has served two consecutive terms and is
therefore ineligible to run this time..."
As it is January, his term has expired, therefore, no need to resign.

Dan said he would be traveling in India and would not be participating
on Grex for a month. I hope he will return and continue working as a
staff member after his vacation is done. If he doesn't, I think it will
be sad for Grex and possibly disastrous. I have no idea who else will
do all the work he has done.

resp:117 Over the holiday, I spoke with my brother about this stuff
since my brother is a federal employee. He said that even though he
actually has the security clearance necessary to view the Wikileaks
documents, he also has been forbidden from viewing the wikileaks sites
or any mirror sites. So Dan has a legitimate issue. However, when I
explained the technology and forgetting items, he said he thought that
would be ok. He has not been banned from reading news articles, even
those that quote from the Wikileaks site.
So if Dan wants to return here after his holiday, forgetting the items
probably will be sufficient to protect him but, of course, he would want
to talk to his direct supervisor about it since that is who would make
the call.

From talking to folks I know in the military that's my understanding as
well. They are using their personal computers to read the news on the web
and working on disks that have been exposed to WikiLeaks. Not sure how
you could avoid that, actually, unless you disconnected from the internet,
for starters.
I expect Dan is on vacation and will be back soon.

re resp:119: If he does come back, it was a dirty, rotten, scummy trick
that didn't cost someone else what it could have.
If he doesn't, then it's the same but it costs Dan and all of us.
Unless, of course, you replace his skills and contributions yourself,
then it just cost us Dan.
It did make your point, I suppose. You don't care about other people.

I don't think anything was done to Dan (apart perhaps from some
intemperatre language). Nothing has been said here concerning or from
wikileaks except what is in the public media, and no legal actions have
been taken against any of the public media. How can such public media be
verboten?
