from the I-thought-the-name-was-bacconmuffinnews dept.
After several early attempts, we have settled on a process for deciding on the final name for this site currently known as SoylentNews.org. You'll need to log in and go to: userprefs/homepage and check the box marked "Willing to Vote" if you'd like to participate (do this now, the submission round will go out soon). The vote will occur using an email-based solution loosely based on the Debian/Condercet method that we cooked up. Note: checking this box will indicate that we are scraping your email address from the database for participation (this is completely opt-in). If you wish not to participate, just make sure this box is unchecked (this is the default).
We are opening the floor to name suggestions. If you have suggested a name earlier, you'll need to re-submit it through this email voting system. Though we prefer available domains, if you have pre-purchased a domain (eg: to prevent squatters), by submitting the name you are stating that you are the owner of the domain(s) and will give it without strings attached to this project if it were to be chosen.
The criteria for an acceptable name:
- Unique and free of obvious trademarks
- Ideally be a bit technological/geeky and signal the site is "news"
- Domain should be available in all permutations: .com/.net/.org
- Easy to pronounce
- Easy to type
- Easy to 'market' or has a "hook" (imagine a mug with the name, a logo, slogans, plays on words, etc.)
- Passes the girlfriend / wife / significant other / random person at work - test
This is how it will work:
- The first round will go out asking for name submissions
- Submissions will remain open for 7 days
- The community will vote to yield 5 names
- Staff will vote and produce 5 names
- A final vote on all 10 names will be held
- At this point, the staff will have a second full vote on the same ten items the community voted on
- The result of this vote, and the community vote, including its runoff, will then be published
- The staff vote is the final decision. We have to live with this. But the community will have a powerful influence on the final staff vote.
If you're interested:
NCommander adds: So its finally here, and I wanted to apologize for the long delay before this actually happened. To the editoral team, please bump this to the top of the index for the next 24 hours so everyone gets a chance to see it (click 'fastforward' then save to autoupdate the timestamp). I promise a Featured Story option is coming in the next major update so we don't have to deal with this!
Related Stories
I would like to clarify some points on the in-progress submission and voting process.
- Ideally the name should be available in .com .org and .net
- If not, we will still accept the submission
- Suggestions left as comments on this site will not be added
- If you are unable to submit a name through the formal process as a last resort the name can be submitted to suggestions@soylentnews.org or you can pester a staff member on IRC via a private message
- Submissions close on Saturday at 06:50 UTC so I suggest getting them in by Friday at the latest
If you plan on making a submission then I also recommend you read the original article with full instructions. Unfortunately, if you did not register to vote before April 12, you are out of luck for this vote.
If you want more information about bounces, plain text email, or voting read this comment by audioguy.
We've finally reached the end. The name will be....
...SoylentNews.org!
I know, it's a bit anti-climactic, but we've gone over the results and our current name won by a significant margin. We'll follow up with a post detailing the voting results in a few days.
Edit: The results data are available in responses to this comment.
For what it's worth, there were a lot of us that would have like to see the name change. The staff even had a chance to override this decision, but instead we decided to support the community's choice.
I'd like to thank everyone who spent a lot of time (and in some cases money) suggesting domains, voting, and bearing with us through this long complex process. It turned into a huge, non-trivial task to pull off, and I appreciate your patience and understanding. We listened to your criticisms of the process as well and we've learned a lot about how we can significantly improve this process for the future.
Okay, now cue all the "I told you that SoylentNews would win!1!!1!!" comments...

Congratulations! I know it seems like it's taken a long time to the staff who have been working on it, but a few weeks to refine a voting system is really quite fast. The time spent is nothing compared to how valuable it will be to have a good system worked out.
This is especially true since this first vote will lay the groundwork for future, important votes.
The core of any organisation is how the votes are cast and counted. You could spend years refining it and it would still be worth it.
Thanks to everyone, and especially audioguy.

As far as I can tell, movies (i.e. "Cinema presentations") is covered by class 41, "Education; providing of training; entertainment; sporting and cultural activities.", while this site (if it's "News agencies". Is it?) probably would be covered by class 38, "Telecommunications".

The difference is that for unavailable domains, you have only one list, and thus an unique ordering.

Since both lists are affected in the very same way by shared names, you cannot simply say you choose from the list less names were taken from.

For example, I bet a large protion of Brian Krebs [twitter.com]'s 57800 Twitter followers would be quite at home here. Example 2: Linus Torvalds uses Google Plus [google.com].

It's quite common in slashcode site polls to see comments like "I voted X, but having seen the above insightful comments I now think Y". Having a discussion in advance should eliminate that.
So based on the plan above, there would be a front page story & discussion at both step 3 and step 5.

Let's see ... both are compsed of two words, so that doesn't need any movement. But Soylent is 7 characters, while pip is only 4. So to move in the direction of pipedot, we have to remove characters, Let's just go the full way here (because it will make further steps easier) and drop three letters. The last three, because they are clearly the least significant.
Also "News" has one more letter than "dot", so we have to drop a letter, too (there's not much choice in the number of letters to drop here). For consistency, let's also drop the last.
So we arrive at SoylNew.org. But we still have to do something about the characters.
P is a bit before S, so we have to go backwards here. Same for o vs. i, y vs. p and l vs. e. Of course we have to be careful to not go beyond pipe, and to get a readable word. Let's use "Plug", that fulfils all the requirement
Now about the New vs. dot. D is before N, but O comes after E. T again is before W. So the directions are clear, we just have to find a word which fits the conditions. Gnu fulfills all the conditions.
So I think "PlugGnu,org" would fully fit your wish to go away from SoylentNews into the pipedit direction.

Of course the first issue is that if your email bounces, you will never see the voting stuff at all - so make sure that address is actually valid.
Use plain text email only. And make sure any line wrapping is set to 70 characters or above - or off.
There are several thousands email programs and variants out there, -your refrigerator can probably send email-.
There is no practical way to write a program to decode all variants of html and other email in a week or two. Even large companies have trouble will all the variations and bugs.
So we have fallen back to the basic mode that is simple to parse and was the original format of email.
What is a plain text email?
Here is, in raw form, what a real plain text email looks like:

-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-

Just 7 bit ascii characters, line wrapped at about 70 characters.

That is mime encoded, further 'quoted-printable' encoded, and the second part contains html. That is NOT what we need to see.
You can email yourself and look at your own mail as a check, most email readers have some sort of 'raw' mode so you can see what is really there.
What if you have no way to send plain text?
We anticipated a few people might be in this situation. So we have made a good faith effort to TRY to decode this stuff, if possible.
If your mail is in -standard- mime format with a plain text and an html section, we may be able to decode it. No guarantees, but we have done some tests, at least.
On the other hand if you are using an old version of Outlook that ONLY sends non-standard 'x-html' mail with no plain text section and too long lines, it will most likely NOT be decoded. The same is true for all the really ghastly progams such as 'IncrediMail'
Sorry, but that is the best we can do for the moment.

And then just hit SEND with no other changes.
Please do not discuss either your submissions or your votes publicly until we have reserved the top ones for the runoff vote. If one of yours is a top choice, we will contact you about this just prior to the runoff vote.
THE SECOND EMAIL is used to rank all the names collected. You can rank them using the numbers 1-9, and generally should rank according to your own feelings. Don't use a number more than once. You can use them all, or if you feel some are well under your favote, you can use lower numbers only. You do not have to use them in order.
That email will have a section in it that looks something like this:
--- BEGIN VOTE ---
VOTE IDENTIFER: comvote
VOTING MODE: FIRSTVOTE
VOTERID=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
[my ranking] Proposed Poll Item

Though with hundreds of people adding names, that could be a VERY much longer list. But you only need to rank at most nine, not all of them. Just your top nine favorites.
Hit reply, and rank like this:

Don't try to clean up the text, just insert your single numbers in the brackets. And hit send.
THE THIRD EMAIL is the runoff vote.
This works exactly like the vote above, except there will be fewer choices (just 10) to worry about.
Your best strategy for this vote is to vote only for your top choice, and perhaps your second with a lower number. So you might give your top choice a 9 and your second choice a 5. You might even only vote for one, since in a close race your second number could actually break a tie - and not in your favor.

What your mail program does to the reply is fine, including prefixing the '>' mark. Do not try to remove those, the program expects them.
You do not need to prefix yours with '>' either, the program expects that.
You do not need to erase anything, the program is expecting that. Really. :-)
It really IS just, hit reply, add your item as shown, hit send.
By the way, I have seen some of these come in now:
There is absolutely no need to add 'soylentsnews.com' to this list, and adding it more than once will have no effect. This first email is just for collecting new names, and I guarantee soylentnews.org WILL be on the list (ONCE) when the actual vote happens, so if that is what you favor don't worry about it.

Just sent in my vote. I hope it registers as I intended; it all appears to me rather fragile and error-prone. So many "DO NOT"s in the instructions makes me worry that my mail client will confuse the parser.
Because of the huge number (90) of options, I felt it necessary to make a shortlist, assign numbers on the shortlist, triple-check that there were no double numbers in the shortlist, then manually copy my numbers to the quoted email, meanwhile being distracted severely by the fact that every item in the email was prefixed by a number. It's like putting #define FOUR 3 in a program and then only using the macro everytime you use the number "3". (Try it, it will drive you crazy)
It would have been better if the mail simply asked: put up to nine domain names in your order of preference, the most preferred one first. Only the first nine domain names will be counted. It does not matter whether they are on a single line or not and anything that is not a domain name or VOTERID will be ignored. Don't worry; our parser will handle HTML,BASE64-encoding, and quotation characters just fine; please leave the VOTERID somewhere in your email.

It's not explicitly said, so I am guessing the vote numbers (1-9) are in reverse order.
.
9 - Highest vote (your bestest name ever)
8

6
5 - Middle of the road
4
3
2
1 - Lowest vote (only if I really have to have this one)

Yes, this is a ranking system where higher numbers are used for the items you favor more.
This is indicated in the instructions for the actual votes - this first one is just for collecting names.
In a sense, it's more like moderating than voting.
(Score: 1) by islisis on Sunday April 20 2014, @05:18AM
Why should we need to moderate the candidates, when the result calls for a single name? A vote determines what we prefer, not what we scored. If it is a moderated event, the implementation makes no sense. What is the reason for barring multiple "9" ratings? The quasi-ranked input is completely arbitrary.
If it is based on a voting algorithm instead, do you have information about the one you employed? For instance what how it might result in the outcome commented above:
"You might even only vote for one, since in a close race your second number could actually break a tie - and not in your favor."

'According to the front page, there are 91 suggests for the name poll, but the email only lists 90 names. What's missing?'
Our evil corporate overlords made us do this!
OK, not really. The number on the front page is/was just a very rough running estimate done by a very simple minded script. The fact that it was just one off is purely coincidental. The final script that does this is much more thorough and both finds more names and removes more duplicates.
'You messed with my name'
Yes, we may have in some cases.
We are really only interested in the name itself at this point in the process, since our intent is to register whatever is selected in com/net/org anyway.
In order to make the list more uniform and give every name an equal chance, all names were lowercased, and most names were ended in '.com' The exceptions were some cases where it was thought the name might be intended to be a play on the old slashdot name, so a few were left as .org so as not to interfere with that.
'Why is the old deadline message on the front page still up?'
We made some changes to our back end which pretty seriously changed the way such updates are done, and are currently tracking down a problem with this. It will change soon.
'Why did some people get emails with a mention of name submissions?'
Normally I do a test send just to myself to check for errors in the text. In this case, I forgot to switch over, and started sending to the list before I was ready. I quickly realized this and quit, however, with the benefits of modern technology I found I am now able to make about 100 dumb mistakes per two seconds. Progress! Sorry about that.

Apparently Yahoo thinks our long list of domains is spam, and is actually blocking people sending to the voting address.
Solution: Copy the entire email and send from another address or system. Make sure you send -to- the From: address listed on the email.
If you have a way to whitelist us, use that, and whitelist the entire soylentnews.org domain. I do not know if that will help with sends on Yahoo's system, but it does on some, so it might.
Let Yahoo know this is wrong, if you have a way.
If you have NO OTHER OPTION but to send from Yahoo - let me know here by a post replying to this one. I will see if I can set up a forwarder on a domain not blocked by them. If you cannot send, and would be willing to help me test that, indicate that in your post as well.

Ok, I admit it. I am just as curious about the outcome of this as the next person. And, THIS time, I am the Keeper of the Keys! Cool. So, while I cannot run the final totals yet, - hey - "I know Unix!" I have the RAW POWAH of grep, regex, sed ... at my disposal! I should be able to take a peek, figure this out, and then *I*, and *I* alone, will know the likely winner, *I* will have the secret knowledge, the Inside Information, the Knowing Smile! [cue dememnted cackle, stroke cat]
So now, *you* can know just what I found out, if you are one of the insiders reading this post: I now know, with 100% certainty, that:
. ... I don't have a clue. I tried, I really did. This kind of ranking system defies any short form of check like that. Can't look at just the 9's, because 8's could easily overrule that, use both, different results. 7s,6s,combinations, they all look different.
.
.
The only thing I can say with some confidence, is that there are AT LEAST 10 top contenders, any one of which could easily beat the others in the final.
So anyone who thinks this is in any way pre-ordained for soylent, or any other name, well, it just isn't. Even all the 1's can knock ANY contender off its perch in the right circumstances.
The only way to find out, is at the end, and if you are holding back from voting because you think this is a shoo-in, you are seriously mistaken.
You are going to have to vote, and wait, just like me.

There have been a lot of questions about how this works and why we did certain things. I will try to answer them togther, in the next two posts.
Most of the questions that start with this have one of two possible answers.
1. 'Because we don't have a clue how to do that.'
This is mostly the questions about why we didn't just do a poll in slash code. Covered in the next post.
OR
2. 'Because there was not enough time to do that.'
These are in reference to a lot of great ideas, that we just did not have time to implement.
Covered in the post after.

'Because we don't have a clue how to do that.'
This site was started by a small group of volunteers who used open source Slash code to start a site as an alternative to some corporate actions we felt were unacceptable.
The code we are using, slash code was written years ago, by a pretty good perl programmer who was very knowlegeable about all the various perl libraries and fairly sophisticated techniques. But a young programmer, who by his own admission (I am slamming no one here) made a few mistakes. In addition, the code has been hacked on by others at a later date by others, perhaps with a slightly different vision. The net effect of this is code that is very confusing to understand and work with.
There is NO ONE on staff here who had anything to do with the writing of this code. It is completely new to everyone. In addition, our perl programming expertise is pretty limited, there are just one or two people who might be called accomplished, and I do not believe any that have written an application the scale of slash code. (Maybe one, not sure). It doesn't really matter, as even a really sharp perl expert is going to take a while to get up to speed on THIS code.
It might be descibed as that famous 'maze of twisty little passages'. Or at times, it reminds me of those old 'home improvement' comedy sketches Red Skelton used to do - you know, where you turn on the water and the radio starts playing, to turn on the closet light, you must flush the toilet.
There are a lot of interactions, sometimes the simplest of things is REALLY difficult, and occasionally the reverse is true.
To answer one question, and provide an example: 'Why didn't you have the sidebar status up from the start?'.
Answer - because we had never done that before, and it took a while to figure out how to do it at all. And when we did, initially, the only way to update that little text box was: to do a complete re-install of slash code.
That's right, read that again: 'To update text box, do complete re-install of slash code.'
We have a better way now, but that REALLY was the case initially. We are learning the code, it just takes a while.
So, 'Why didn't you just use the slash poll, and limit it to registered users, and modify it to handle more names' etc.
Because it would have taken a long time to sort all that code out, write new code, and make sure we weren't causing the toilet to flush every time someone voted. :-)
We just didn't feel we had the time to do that properly.
We are learning the code, and making improvements, but at this stage, every one is very hard won.

Or, 'how the shit actually came down'.
I apologise for the length of this, I have not had time to write a shorter one.
The code being used was not originally written to handle the name vote.
Originally, it was written to solve a staff problem:
We have people all over the world, and what was happening is that a group in a similar time zone would get together, identify some issue, solve it, and vote on the best solution. The problem was that 12 hours later another group, or person, would then say, 'wait a minute, we didn't get to vote on that, and by the way, would have suggested a different solution, 'Z', because we know about X and you did not take that into consideration. And this was not just grousing, often they were absolutely correct.
So we needed to come up with a solution to this, some kind of voting system that could spread the vote over a day or more, and, incidentally, it would be nice if it could also have a way for people to ADD OPTIONS to solve -that- problem.
We set up a group to look into possible solutions, which they were doing thoroughly. But that takes some time, so it was decided to write a quick, temporary solution, until that work came to fruition. I got the job.
Email was chosen because of its flexibility, and in general, I tried to take as flexible approach as possible. Who knew what this might be used for? Parsing emails is hard, because of dozens of different email programs, each with its own quirks, and in some cases, bugs, but this was for a very small group, mostly having sane email programs.
Knowing that, I figured I could get away with fairly simple tagging, because while something like having start and end tags such as html uses is much easier for a program to parse, it is very painful to look at.
So the simple '[n](nn) item' was chosen.
Why [1-9] ? Well, the original idea was really to have NO rigidly enforced system. Using just one number helps make the lines a bit easier to parse, and allows for multiple uses, for example, 1-9 could be used for ranking, but in other cases a binary option like 0/1 could be used, or other variants.
The (nn) was just because some way is needed to keep track of the items reliably, with less worry about a small change in the text of the item itself causing it to be missed. Something that happens a LOT in emails. Even plain text emails are not completely safe.
Provisions against cheating? Dupes? Etc.? None. This was staff, not worried about that at all.
Plans to adapt this to the name vote? None, originally. At best, I thought we might learn some useful things that might help with whatever we used for that later.
But the code was designed to allow each vote to have three phases, 'item contributions', 'initial ranking or voting', and a 'runoff vote' if needed. So it would solve our problem.
The code was written in a day. Then two days were spent creating a web based user interface so any staff member could initiate and run a poll or vote. (user interfaces, the bane of a programmers life)
Done. Not great, but good enough until we got something better.
-then everything changed-
There was a LOT of pressure to have the name vote as soon as possible, for a number of reasons, including keeping a promise, and the fact that this was keeping us from completing our incorporation (you need a name...).
The evaluation of the other programs turned up a lot of potential problems, such as some requiring javascript which many of our community object to, and the simple fact that polling or voting programs are generally not designed to accept a lot of name or item submisssions, or being written in a language no one here had enough experience with to be able to modify quickly. And there were other problems, false starts, people leaving, various things that are not important to detail here.
We needed something fast, and something that one of our own staff could modify, if needed.
And it just so happpened we had something that could, sort of, do what was needed. That could accept submisssions, and handle ranking, and runoff votes. But had no way to interface to a database, and no protections against cheating, and so on.
So some changes would have to be made, and quickly. Those changes were made in about a day and a half. One, single test was then run with about six staff.
The next event that code handled was the real name vote. Which is what we are in now.
-- So: answers... --
-- Why plain text? Why not just the convenience of 'anythng goes'? --
Because I am not a good enough programmer to write code that can handle every one of literally thousands of different mail programs, variations of those, and bugs, and the outright violations of the RFCs some of these programs contain. And even if I had been, there would have not been enough time to test them all, even once.
So I made a 'best effort' to try to decode as many as possible, and then asked people to use plain text, which almost always works. The best effort is for those absolutely stuck, as some are. And in the end, if it really cannot be deciphered, it can be manually counted. (and will be)
The restrictions people complain about are really there just to try to give your vote the best possible chance of being decoded properly.
-- Why is there no feedback email? --
Because of the very short time period, and the high probability of problems in some very untested code, I decided to program VERY defensively, saving all intermediate steps, and NOT trying to decode or tally emails 'on the fly'. I let the mail server, a program written and tested to do that well, deliver the mail. Only later is the mail processed, which means I can't lose any emails, and can repeat the process, if needed, to fix a bug.
A side effect of this is that there is really very little information available while delivery is taking place. If the tallying was being done, I could keep track of that state and send back an error message if something was wrong. But with nothing like that being done, the best an email sent back could say would be 'your email was delivered'. That is information already apparent however - we are not filtering email like an isp might. If your email is NOT deliverable, you WILL get an error back immediately from the mail server (as a few have unfortunately found out from Yahoo.)
There are also certain precautions one must take with autoresponders, it is not quite as simple as you might expect. The long and short of it is that it was something I did not feel I could spend the time on for a very limited utility.
-- Why Email? --
#1 - It was what we had ready, and handy.
Also:
2. We could send people tokens to help prevent cheating fairly easily.
3. It was free form enough to allow for name submissions easily.
4. It should be fairly easy to repurpose.
Mostly, in all honesty, #1. :-)
-- Why are the numbers setup so your first choice gets a nine and your least choice gets a 1? --
Well, there are two ways of thinking about this. One is that you are ranking or scoring items, the other is that you are making choices 'first choice' 'second choice' etc. I did not know which was 'more intuitive', since this was not a one time winner takes all vote like US elections, but rather a scoring system. It was not necessarily clear one was more intuitive than the other. My time for researching this was also limited, but I had to make a choice fairly quickly. Whichever I chose, it seemed lilely some people would feel the other was was more intuitive.
So looked at other things.
What the program actually does is add these. So it seems better to let the user choices also reflect this directly.
Another factor was that (going back to the staff version), this way allowed me to have a zero, if I ever needed one, while still having the easier to parse single numbers in brackets.
For better or for worse, that is how this was decided. In about 2 minutes. :-)
-- Why not vote for just one, like US elections? --
Because this is a little different situtation, where a second choice can be important. What we really want is the best possible choice, not to 'keep the evil guy on the other side out'.
Remember anyone could submit a name, so presumably would vote for their own.
It's too much to go into here, but ranking tends to pick choices that are the best compromises (= less pissed off people). Do a google search on 'voting algorithm' and have fun.
-- What voting algorithm are you using? --
Heh. Very fancy name, that.
What it actually is, is a very loose attempt to come up with a 'Condorcet winner' by ranking, and having two rounds, coupled with the practical requirement here that we may have to drop down to 'next best choices' if for some reason we cannot get control of one or more domains.
In other words, we just add the scores and highest scores win, then have a runoff. And pray we don't have a tie. :-)
The staff vote, and ultimately NCommander, can break a tie.
The whole vote process is on the wiki. http://wiki.soylentnews.org/wiki/ProposedSolutionF orTheCommunityPoll [soylentnews.org]
-- Why can we only use each number once? --
This is an attempt to force people to actually make choices based upon preference ranking, rather then just an easy '9 for all my favorites'.
The hope is that it will provide less chance of a tie as well.
-- So if your second choice was given an '8', does that carry more weight than if you gave it a '5'? --
Yes, that is the whole point. Vote your relative preferences.
-- Why was the list so long? Why not just shorten it? --
Tough question. Who gets to decide? And take the brickbats from those unilaterally removed?
Don't look at me.
The whole issue was tough, because we simply did not know what to expect. You can see my own vaccillation here pretty clearly - At first I was terrified we would get a 4,000 name long list. Then that we would only get a few.
In the end, we had about 90 and I think that was long, but workable. And all names submitted got into the list, as far as I am aware.
-- It could have all been done better --
No doubt about that. It's our first time, and we had a very limited time frame. Nobody was under any illusions there would not be problems.
Thanks for making the best of a difficult situttion.
We hope to do better next time.

The answer to this is purely practical.
Since we were using email to send ballots, we had a problem: you cannot just send emails without peoples permission.
At one point, the checkbox for getting the daily summaries that registered users can get was set by default. A number of people took exception to this, some even claiming we were spamming them. (This was unintentional on our part, slashcode came with that set by default)
So that was fixed, but it made us very aware of the sensitivity of our community on this issue.
Anything that required an email ballot would therefore need peoples explicit permission. We tried several approaches, things like adding special tags in various places, but all were pretty awkward. In the end, NCommander was able to add a checkbox and field to the database specifically for this purpose.
But there is another problem, which is that sending bulk mail, which this certainly would be, can get you into major block lists. All it takes is one or two complaints, in some cases. To get OUT of these blocklists, you must be able to PROVE :
1. That users explicitly signed up.
2. That the signup mechanism did NOT default to on, in other words, they had to actively take an action to sign up.
We used a checkbox with the idea that people could sign up for votes they wanted to participate in, and not for others. So that checkbox is easily changed at any time.
Yet, we needed to be able to prove a user had signed up for a specific vote.
The only way we could do that is to dump that choice out, at a certain point in time, so that we could show that yes, THIS user signed up for THIS specific vote on THIS date.
This is why, for each vote, there is an explicit sign up period (which we call registration, since the term is familiar), and an explicit cutoff date.

The net effect of what you did was that you gave at least a one point boost to your favorite nine choices over the other 81. So your vote still has a positive influence on your favorites over the others, just not in the amounts you intended.
And that vote could well decide whether a name gets into the top five, as any vote can.

(7839) (Total Points Used)
The points are shown to illustrate how difficult it is to predict anything from the initial ranking phase. It may look like Soylent was a sure win from this, but in fact, if you look at the points, those used for names OTHER than soylent far outnumber the soylent votes. Since only a few names will make it into the final vote all those points will need to go somewhere...
Now at this point we had to make a few decisions about the rules, some anticipated, some not.
The anticipated one was that all the names would be checked and we would try to get possession of them in .com, .net, and org. Any we could not, would be removed from consideration.
However, as it turned out, almost ALL the top choices would have been eliminated by this requirement. So we decided to relax that a bit to just the domains we ACTUALLY felt we needed, which were .org and .net. .com was less important, it is not like we were going to open a retail store...
Then there were some problems that were not anticipated.
The first one was that if we had to drop a name (and we did), the next name in line was newsgrep.com, which was nearly identical to grepnews.com - in fact they were deliberately submitted to be so, as an example. So a new rule was created: if two names are nearly identical, they get combined into one item, and if that item wins, a runoff is held between them.
The next problem was that two of those names had potentially serious copyright problems. Soylent we expected, but with apt-get-news in the running, that was pretty closely associated with Debian/Ubuntu, and in particular, it could cause a problem with NCommander in his work situation which could be VERY awkward. (Think about it: your company makes a product called the XP100plus, and one of your employees starts a site called 'xp1000plus.com' that has NOTHING to do with your company or product...).
At any moment, two of those names could be knocked out of the running, leaving us with a rather limited list for our runoff, consisting of
sudonews.com
grepnews.com
newsgrep.com
(if it happened after the list went out)
Sort of a limited choice...
So the next new rule was created: If a name has a copyright problem, another name will be added to the list as a backup in case that name gets knocked off the list later.
So, with the new rules in mind, the runoff list from the community vote turned out to be:
soylentnews.com
sudonews.com
grepnews.com (or newsgrep)
apt-get-news.com
dailybacon.net
forkdot.org
techmatter.com
Now we needed to add the results of the staff top five to this, and delete any duplicates, to make up the final list that both staff and community would be voting on in the final round.
So the staff vote was next...

This is very close. So close, in fact it made a lot of people on staff very uncomfortable with going with such a narrow staff win, against the wishes of the community which had both a much larger voter base and a much more clear choice for its favorite.
A decision was made in irc to have one more staff vote, this time on just one single issue. A new poll was started, with these choices:
[] We should use the community vote results.
[] I disagree
The results were:
63 We should use the community vote results.
9 I disagree.
So there you have it. Pretty much a landslide.

It probably would have been wise to have had a run-off vote between soylentnews, and newsgrep (or grepnews), so that way all the anti-soylent news people would be splitting votes across all those choices. I mean the votes for everything other than soylentnews way outnumbered soylentnews. It should have been required that the winner achieved a true majority, and since that wasn't the case, reduce the number of choices until one does (or just go for two right away).
I say this as someone who, in fact, did vote for soylentnews as the name. It just doesn't seem fair though, that it was picked with less than majority..

I think there's something in the US water that makes people incapable of doing a two-candidate run-off. :)
