we took the 7:15 train from Cairo and arrived in el Menya @ 10:20. we were staying at a 3awama called Dahabeya, we went directly to it and had a lovely breakfast on the Nile.
The current team of admins got together just now to decide what to do about the election situation. We have decided the following:
The next time the charter comes up for modification, we need to fix this issue (by saying that we use cron to close the election poll)
There will be ONE person leaving the admin team and TWO persons joining it. I (YoussefAssad) will be leaving and both Conceptor and Ezabi will be joining it. This is effective immediately.
Sorry for the mess; we're a young community. Our charter is also young and it will learn from our mistakes. Thanks everyone for your patience, and thanks to Roberto Ramsis for the idea to make both admins.
At last YoussefAssad Got for us the solution ( i`m posting cuz he is a little busy )
first of all, we will consider that the issue is too grey to be covered either in the charter or by discussing. So, we need to do two things
Make a note to amend the charter.
decide who becomes admin.
about the second part As for who wins, the current admins will get together and decide. This is the only way to get over this thing. We will decide by tomorrow noon.
In order to have this event running smoothly we need as much information
as we can get from the people involved and also to answer all questions that visitors my ask.
