In combined-weights mode, the voter gives a nonnegative weight to each candidate instead of ranking the candidates. The voter's goal is to maximize the sum of weights of selected candidates. This is an appropriate criterion for elections where the quality of all the candidates is is important to the voters, such as the election of an actual committee that will be voting on some issues. [...] Best candidate. In best-candidate mode, the voter's goal is to get a single very good candidate elected, and the quality of other elected candidates is a strictly secondary consideration. This is appropriate for an election where the voter really only cares about the best candidate[...] -- 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".
