Subject:[pcb-rnd] RESULT: poll on file naming
in-reply-to:5740 from rn...@igor2.repo.hu
Hi all,
 
TL;DR: the winner is C:
 
rp/rs; symbols could be ry, footprints rf. So two chars only, r for
ringdove, then one for the purpose. If it's non-natural, "unreadable"
anyway, why not make it also short?
 
Details:
 
1. Overview
 
We had 10 votes, all of them according to the expected syntax 
(thanks!). The votes and scripts used for processing them can be found at:
 
http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/poll_fn.tar.gz
 
2. Scoreboard
 
Here's the final score board (generated by eval.sh):
 
61 C
47 A
44 F
26 B
15 D
5 G
2 E
 
which means C is the clear winner, 2nd and 3rd bests are far behind.
 
3. Per preference table
 
As generated by eval2.sh:
 
#1 1 A
#1 2 B
#1 3 F
#1 4 C
#2 1 C
#2 1 D
#2 1 F
#2 1 G
#2 6 A
#3 1 E
#3 2 A
#3 2 C
#3 5 D
 
#1, #2 and #3 are preference slots, second column is "number of votes in 
that slot" for the 3rd column. So C also won by "named most often for 
first preference".
 
(Second most preferred was A and third D)
 
 
4. Per choice per preference slot table
 
As generated using eval3.sh:
 
A 1 6 2
B 2 0 0
C 4 1 2
D 0 1 5
E 0 0 1
F 3 1 0
G 0 1 0
 
 
5. The non-preferences
 
E got only one vote, on 3rd preference and G got only one on 2nd 
preference. 
 
B got 2 votes, but both were first-choice preferences! Which means B was 
the one that some of you really really liked but everyone else hated.
 
Our winner, C, got 1 second and 2 third choices, which means even those 
who didn't find it the best choice could accept it. Total vote for C on 
any preference-slot is 7. (A got 9 on this chart, but mostly as fallback, 
second-preference, that's how it ended up on the second place only.)
 
 
6. conclusion
 
I am going to apply the necessary changes for the new file name 
conventions starting from after the next pcb-rnd release. This means we 
start to see the results in code and doc from late summer.
 
 
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
