[arg_discuss] NOW: ANONYMOUS POLL ON ARG SIG URL - results

[Christy Dena]

Further thoughts about the software:

Another possible web format is Drupal. Check out Jason Rutter's Digiplay
Initiative: Understanding Digital Games site
http://digiplay.info/bibliography. 

It is a resource that people can add too... 

But that is in Drupal, which requires Linux I believe. Here is the info
Jason has given me about the setup:

[quote]
It is run using Drupal - http://drupal.org/ - with a range of what Drupal
calls modules. These are basically addons which give the core CMS added
functionality - http://drupal.org/project/Modules. 

So for example, the bibliography is run using Ron Jerome's biblio module -
http://drupal.org/project/biblio.

There is a blog module (and Blog API to work with things like Blogger API,
MetaWeblog API, and most of the Movable Type API) built into the core but
I've never used it.

The results are in! Thanks everyone who voted, all 49 of you!

49 people voted in question 1 and 2 (which were compulsory) and 38 on Q3.
Here is the quick summary:

Q1: "ARGology" was the landslide winner with 85.7% or 42 votes

Q2: ".com and .org but redirects to .org" was the landslide winner with 51%
or 25 votes

Q3: "ARGH!" was the winner with 29/38 votes.

Further details:
Images of the results are (hopefully) attached. [If not, I'll pop them
online.] 

Q1: The winner is perhaps no surprise considering the response on the
listserv. The second in line was ARGON, with 4 votes; and then ARGnology,
ARGosy, ARGsRUs, ARGh and ARGSIG with 1 vote each; and ArGeeenialoG.com with
none. ARGh and ARGSIG were in the Other section and so no-one was able to
vote on them. I don't know why I did an Other field -- I should of just put
a Comments box to capture comments on errors etc. 

Q2: The winner of the domain extension was a surprise (to me) as the list
seemed to be tending towards a .com. But "com and .org but redirects to
.org" won with 25 votes; 11 votes for ".com and .org but redirects to .com";
5 for .com and .org only, respectively; and I'll include the Other comment
("or .net, .info perhaps? .com is too businessy") towards .net, which totals
2 votes.

Q3: Most people say "ARGH!" (29), but what surprised me was that 11 people
said they alternate them according to the audience (see ARGorARGOther pic);
9 say "A.R.G." only; 1 said "ARGH!" was a great idea, and another ventured
"Boooyaaah!" as well. 

Well, I'm glad we did the survey as more people voted that had through the
listserv, and the domain extension is a different result that what was
emerging on the listserv.

Right! Over to John! Do you want to register the domain names? Or perhaps
register one, .org, and someone else registers .com (to share the cost
burden)?

ARGology.org, here we come!

Best,
Christy

Hey everyone,

We're doing a final vote on the URL for the new ARG SIG web initiative. 

There are 3 VERY short questions on this webpage:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=p6NPDipxKZ8lfa0zzp6gkg_3d_3d 

You can only answer the poll once per computer.

It closes on Weds 7th May.

When finished the page will return to the main page of the website rather
than give you a confirmation screen. Don't panic, your vote has been stored.
It is just a special feature of the freebie version. :)

Thanks!
Christy
