06:50 < conseo> thomasvonderelbe: is this the book you read: http://peerconomy.org/wiki/Deutsch ?
06:53 < thomasvonderelbe> conseo: i think it is. just another version somehow
06:54 < conseo> ok, looks interesting
06:54 < conseo> i'll have a look at it
06:54 < conseo> thanks!
08:15 < conseo> thomasvonderelbe: have you had any contact with the author?
08:15 < thomasvonderelbe> no I didnt, but I think Alex Rollin had.
08:15 < thomasvonderelbe> but maybe not
08:15 < thomasvonderelbe> conseo: I like The_Users idea
08:16 < thomasvonderelbe> of having several circles
08:16 < thomasvonderelbe> in the delegation picture in the crossforum
08:16 < thomasvonderelbe> I just read your conversation
08:17 < thomasvonderelbe> 2 circles is probably enough
08:17 < thomasvonderelbe> do you know now, why 20 voters are enough to display?
08:20 < conseo> yep it is a good proposal so far
08:20 < conseo> (tell him please, i only know him from my blog and some chatting here on freenode)
08:21 < conseo> (he is german btw (student of physics from TU-Aachen)
08:22 < conseo> thomasvonderelbe: well it makes sense to limit the number of voters, but i am not sure if it should be hardwired
08:22 < conseo> maybe it should be definable by the author
08:22 < conseo> (=candidate)
08:23 < thomasvonderelbe> no, i dont think the number is limited, just the number of voters who get displayed. the rest just shows up as 10.000 "others"
08:25 < thomasvonderelbe> the others can be there, but they dont need to show up, because they will not take part in the communication with the candidate anyway
09:31 < conseo> thomasvonderelbe: and how are the 20 selected? by vote-count?
09:33 < conseo> christian siefkes is pretty close to my perspective, so i have mailed him and will try to cooperate (he is a programmer as well)
09:33 < conseo> (the author of the peerconomy book)
09:39 < conseo> mcallan: why have you linked you backlog? is there some problem with the one of xfbot?
09:43 < thomasvonderelbe> conseo: yes, by vote-count. the top 20, which might exchange over time.
09:43 < conseo> ok, so if you want to communicate, you should either try to use a candidate with less than 20 voters?
09:43 < conseo> i don't understand how this exactly limits communication...
10:04 < serapath> hi
10:26 < thomasvonderelbe> serapath: hi
10:27 < thomasvonderelbe> conseo: yes, if you want to communicate you should look for one, where you are among the top20
10:28 < thomasvonderelbe> communication is limited just by the ability of one person (the candidate) who can only talk to a certain number of people. Angele Merkel simply cannot talk to me, because there are too many like me, wanting to talk to her.
10:29 < thomasvonderelbe> somewhere between 10 to 20 is the limit, you cannot talk to more
10:30 < thomasvonderelbe> and especially: you cannot listen to more
11:40 < conseo> thomasvonderelbe: ok, but this only means that i want be listed there, not the
11:40 < conseo> that i cannot vote for them and not that i cannot mail them, right?
11:40 < conseo> so how does it affect communication?
14:38 < conseo> s/want/won't
22:18 < mcallan> conseo: sorry c, but i didn't have a handy bookmark for it.  i do now.  but the URL seems needlessly long.  the logger creates a new folder every day and puts a single file in it.  wastes disk space, impedes navigation and lenthens URLs.  is there a way to make it leaner?
22:25 < mcallan> (on 2nd thought, it's low priority. i take it back.)
