Re: EPICS Suggestions and Priorities

[Andrew Johnson <anj@aps.anl.gov>]

Thanks to those of you who have voted already, the results are looking 
interesting.  So far there have been five additional suggestions from users, 
so even if you've already voted several times you might want to check back to 
see the new questions.

Some of you might not realize that you really do need to vote several (many?) 
times for us to get a good idea of what you think the priorities should be for 
EPICS development.  Each time you vote you'll be given a different pair of 
ideas to compare and decide which is more important.  There are currently 32 
suggestions to vote on, and while some people have voted many times, others 
have only registered one vote so far.  That's your privilege, but you won't 
have much influence over the results if you stop there.

The individual votes are private, but anyone can look at the geographical 
location of the voters (which is interesting by itself).
