This is based on experience of the system over the last year or so, and a desire to make things move more quickly.\r\n\r\nChanges to voting:\r\n\r\n1. Only two existing contributors are needed to pass something. This is no longer based on a percentage of existing contributors. We have enough active members that incompatible ideas will be blocked before being merged.\r\n2. Reduce minimum open vote time to a week. Two weeks is long enough for things to grind to a halt, one week should increase momentum. In my experience, consensus forms quickly or not at all. A week is enough.\r\n3. Changes will be closed after 3 months if they're not merged, to keep the backlog clean and remove the interference from other old PRs hanging around.\r\n4. Changes will be automatically merged on passing by the script so that admins can't sit on approved changes if they're not 100% happy with them. Block or pass.\r\n\r\nWe should also be encouraging blockers to counter with their own proposal, or if blocking for reasons of \"this isn't detailed enough\", to allow the change and build on it in future PRs.\r\n\r\nThis PR will be merged using the existing system, which means we need 5 yes votes to pass it."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/openpolitics/manifesto/issues/comments/69961755","html_url":"https://github.com/openpolitics/manifesto/pull/270#issuecomment-69961755","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/openpolitics/manifesto/issues/270","id":69961755,"user":{"login":"tmtmtmtm","id":57483,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/57483?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm","html_url":"https://github.com/tmtmtmtm","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tmtmtmtm/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-14T18:06:48Z","updated_at":"2015-01-14T18:06:48Z","body":"I think the text in the PR itself is OK; but it would be better if applied in parallel with something for #71 "}}
