Consider the following: 1) I am neither a UI nor a voting system expert. 2) Explaining complex topics (like sophisticated voting systems) in a clear and easy to understand way is a very rare and highly nontrivial skill. 3) If you want an explanation that can be understood with no effort from your side, the best I can give you is: higher number = more preference (which is in the text already). 4) As this is a collaborative project, you are very much welcome to read the official documentation and supply a better explanation yourself, or find someone else who does. 5) As you're doing neither of these, your "word soup" and "trainwreck" amount just to your being an asshole to no purpose. > But, I would again like to state these votes should be scrapped > and redone.

While I don't oppose redoing the vote in principle, I also don't think it's realistic to expect a vote with 50+ voters to run with zero issues. Voting fatigue is also a real thing, so we risk some people not voting at all in hypothetical repeat votes. -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
