Version 4 of Vote: Should Pooryorick leave the Tcler's wiki?

Updated 2015-12-31 12:36:22 by aprendiz

On his namesake page PYK made the following offer to the community in response to a comment by APN:

"As I've said before, I'm willing to take my efforts to my own website, if people really would rather I do that."

So, lets take a polling of the community consensus of the community's desire to take PYK up on his offer.

Therefore, the question of this vote:

Should PYK "take [his] efforts to [his] own website" and leave the Tcler's wiki alone?"

Note: At this point, everyone in the community has already formed an opinion of PYK and his editing of the wiki. This page is not meant to be a place for debate nor a place for pleas attempting to sway opinions in one direction or another. It is merely meant to collect the votes of the community members to the question above.

Please edit the page and place your vote below the appropriate section heading below:


Vote YES: I would like PYK to "take [his] efforts to [his] own website" and leave the Tcl'ers wiki alone:

RLE: I vote YES.

PL: I vote YES.


Vote NO: I would like PYK to continue to edit the Tcl'ers wiki:

aprendiz: I vote NO.

dbohdan 2015-12-31: The implicit assumption made above is that such matters can and should be decided by popular vote. Personally, I find it far from obvious why this is the case. It is especially questionable to call for a vote right after an attempt to resolve the conflict through violence (use of bots to coerce the other party to give up).

I think what the wiki needs is, ultimately, a bit more of hands-on governance. That would first and foremost include rules for conflict resolution and someone to act as an arbiter who has the final word. (1) Then everyone who agrees to abide by the rules can stay and everyone who disagrees can fork the wiki or otherwise go and post elsewhere.

(1) Now, that I would vote on (even though I'd rather see that person chosen by consensus).
