8rd vote                                                 May 2nd, 2016

this is a formal Call for Votes (CfV) as per § 9 VotR. It officially
opens the voting period for the vote described below, that is, you are
now free to exercise your right to vote. A vote that is accepted by the
team results in a final decision on a topic and determines how to
proceed, so please take care before you participate.

Allowed to vote is any team member, which as per § 1 VotR is everybody
who is publically listed as a member of the “Secretchronicles”
organisation on GitHub.

Vote Subject
°°°°°°°°°°°°

In the 2nd General Discussion, the vote for deciding about a translation
software to use failed because of a remis situation of 2:2 votes with 1
abstination. Since that vote thus had no binding result, it is hereby
repeated on the long way on the asynchronous infrastructure of the TSC
project, such that we can finally get this evergreen of a discussion
topic resolved by means of more involvement (than the 5 members that
were in IRC).


Vote Options
°°°°°°°°°°°°

1. Accept translations only through submitted PO files (i.e. keep
current state, no change)
2. Accept translations only through Transifex, reject submitted PO files
3. Accept translations both through Transifex and via submitted PO files
4. Accept translations only through Weblate, reject submitted PO files
5. Accept translations both through Weblate and via submitted PO files
6. Custom solution

Voting for any option involving Weblate means setting up our own Weblate
instance (hooking it up to our planned LDAP for a single sign on with
only one single username/password combination for the entire project
infrastructure).

Voting Period
°°°°°°°°°°°°°

The voting period has started now. It ends on 2016-05-10 00:00 UTC.

Procedure
°°°°°°°°°

As nobody requested a covert vote, this vote will be held as an open
vote. Please vote by sending an email indicating the option you voted
for to the mailinglist, make an according post to the forum topic
corresponding to this message, or post on the tracker in the ticket
where the vote announcement was published as well. Everybody has only
one vote. If you have a GPG keypair, please use it to sign the message
(this is optional, but recommended).

If no single option receives the most votes (but multiple ones win), a
second vote is held with the set of options reduced to those options
which received the most votes.

There is nothing special about this vote, which means it can be decided
by simple majority.

Quintus
TSC project lead.
