RE: Thoughts about the questionnaire and new proposals
After going through all the comments on elear's post, and reading about the questionnaire issue, I think finding a consensus is impossible since everyone has different standards and point of views, there are strict people who emphasize a lot on the quality and accuracy of the contribution and I tend to be one of them, and there are other people who tend to have a minimalistic approach, others are more permissive …. On the other hand, we have the standards that utopian wants to implement. There are just many ideas, and many contradictions going on here, there is also a huge lack of information about what utopian wants and what people want because from what I saw, many people don’t know that utopian requested many things before about the presentation, word count, granularity and so forth.
I think people need to understand that there is no perfect solution to this, and at the need of the day, a decision will have to be made, not because it’s the right and best solution, but just because it’s the fairest possible solution. I believe that this is not the end, and we can keep working for a better model in the future, to make it even more accurate and professional. But the sure thing is that if we want to take a step farther in this, more resources will be needed, we will also need developers and people well versed in mathematics to do the proper equations for scaling … for now, we just need to work with what we have and can control, but as I already said, I am pretty sure that a better solution(new project) will be set in the future, a solution that equals the professional existing tools that are available online for companies.
