I agree 100%.
We tend to believe that the more bodies we throw at a project, the faster it will get done. In fact, it turns out to be the opposite. That's why I'd like to see us work on more than one project, maybe even the top 5. With about 10 developers each.

10 developers is perfect if they work actively.

Just so this doesn't get out of hand, let me post new polls directly under this message.
If you would like to ask a poll question, please ask me to write it out by posting a request in the COMMENTS section.
thanks

Should we use only the most popular idea or should we split the ideas into multiple projects?

In order for polls to work in this discussion forum, I think you'll want to post the poll title, then one new post below that for each poll option. Then we can vote a 5 for the one we want (and leave the others alone). The post with the most votes then one the poll.
That way there will be far fewer posts and an easier way of determining the winner.
Ex:
POLL: Do you like beef?
Re: POLL: Do you like beef? "Yes"
Re: POLL: Do you like beef? "No"
Of course, you could make it cleaner by just putting "Yes" and "No" in the message titles, but I wanted to make the concept easy to understand.
[edit]I'll post an example below this message, then delete it when it serves no more purpose.[/edit]

Its an informal process at the moment, so please just give an answer to the question.
If you wish to make a suggestion, then use the comments section.

Will do from now on. I just thought that you really don't want an additional 100+ responses for every poll you'll be posting. This thread is already likely to have won the "Most Massive Code Project Thread" award!
Let me know if/when you want me to delete these.

and we can discuss it in the lounge. With many projects we probably can't !

I think multiple is better, single is good.
Single will help to "test the waters" and iron out the glithces. However, multiple will help to find a place for those that really want to participate, but are alienated by a particular project.
As for discusssion boards, once a project is decided on, we can post an article and then use the discussion on that so that it stays with the article.

I think even UGLY is too big to be treated as one project.
To make it useful to a very large spectrum of users, I think that it should have MFC, .NET, WTL and probably even wxWindows and Qt versions. If there is a general scope drawn up, and the individual parts finalized, say like we need a masked edit control that had these features, a customizable scroll bar, etc, individuals can work on these components. I won't even discourage multiple people working on the same type of control. We could include the best implementation.
IMO, the parent project should more like giving specifications and suggestions regarding what makes the library useful and complete.
I think that centralized control should only be to decide what finally makes it into an integrated distribution.

How about selecing the most popular project and then splitting the crowd up into subgroups depending on their ability...
Failing that I vote for just one project... UGLY!!

How to develop a voting and decision making system so that we fast and flexible could make decisions about our projects.?
We can use CP directly like this:
- could be open 48 hour after the proposition is made.
- people can can put forward their ideas and be elected on. CP's own vote system should work here.
- never on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday (US Central Time)
The subject line could be:
- one of theese
"CPP vote 24h-24h:" (24h for presenting alternativs and 24h for voting)
or
"CPP vote 48h" (all alternativs are presented, so start voting at once)
- the first reply would be your proposal or problem, with project name if necessary.
- people would reply, and the reply with the most votes would automatically be accepted as the final decision after 48h. If it is a bad decision it can always be elected down with a new proposition.
- the one who has won the voting would change the subject line in his message to "Decided" and copy the message to the project logg.
If you have some other idea then reply to this and we can vote...

Fine with me for most things, but when we divide up into seperate projects, I think we should have a seperate article for each project with voting done at the bottom. Also, some things do best with the CP-poll-of-the-week style of polling.
