[wplug-board] A Few Notes

[Evan DiBiase]

As I work to get some of the final kinks out of v1.0 ("Wuthering 
Heights") of the Board Voting Stuff(tm), let me remind you all of a 
"feature" that is kind of nonintuitive but makes sense when one thinks 
about it.

Namely, for items that don't require active affirmation, you still need 
to click "Wait" at some point during their sit in the pending items 
queue if you want to register the fact that you wouldn't mind if the 
proposal passed. This, I think, is the best way to deal with the bylaws, 
which state that everyone has to see a proposal for it to pass without 
assuming that just because you loaded up the entire list of proposals 
for three seconds that you've "seen" my latest three-page rant about 
ordering tacos at install-fests.

In other words, if you like a proposal that is to be passively affirmed, 
but not enough to go ahead and click "Affirm", make sure you click 
"Wait." You'll still have the ability to object or to more strongly 
offer support later, but it will guarantee that, should you take no 
other action, the proposal has a chance of passing.
