We had set it as - world viewable, registered users could comment and rate, one vote per head and only authors could modify. Of course each of these rights could be restricted to any subset of registered users.
True but the problem was that we were so close to the deadline that we couldn't get any reviewers and Baiju and I had to make do with a quick scan of the proposals. We didn't use any of the features which the software provided.
I don't think it's that big a problem. A wiki or a shared google doc should be enough. Users voting is pretty pointless. Feedback from the audience after a talk has been presented in a lot more valuable.
you have not got the point I am making. The point is that we have to decide the following: 1. are proposals public or not 2. who reviews them 3. who makes the final decision 4. is there to be interaction with the author before a final decision is taken once this is decided an appropriate mechanism can be put in place. -- Regards Kenneth Gonsalves Senior Associate NRC-FOSS at AU-KBC
