[Twg] new priority spreadsheet

[John Carrier]

On the TWG call Thursday 5/24, we agreed that we would recommend to the board that OpenSFS focus on new feature development to address our top requirements in Availability, Storage Management, and Performance.

As I was writing the text summarizing this recommendation, I noticed that Alex's spreadsheet had grouped some member organizations in the community group and included some other members in the group of promoters.  At our 5/17 meeting, we had agreed to consider two groupings--promoters and non-promoters--to reflect the representation on the OpenSFS Board.  As a result, I have modified Alex's tables to reflect this organization for analysis.  This new grouping of organizations does not qualitatively alter our conclusions and our recommendation to the Board will be unchanged.

While working on the spreadsheets, I also decided to consolidate the different sheets Alex had created to make viewing the results clearer.  Also, with Alex's help, I have formatted the columns so that each page in the spreadsheet will print on a single page.   The new spreadsheet (http://goo.gl/Lqg7s) now has three pages  :

"Priorities" lists all of our votes.  It shows the vote counts and the sum of squares analysis that Andreas had proposed.

"Scores" uses Alex's method of converting priorities 1-10 to scores 100-10.  The table includes the scores summed by promoter, non-promoter, and all members.

"Sorted Scores" contains four tables that show the feature ranking by promoter scores, non-promoter scores, all member scores, and total votes cast.

I have had trouble accessing alternate pages in the spreadsheet with Firefox and so did my final edits with Chrome.  For printing, another alternative is to download the sheet in Excel or OpenOffice and then print from these apps on your system.

Please let  me know if you have any questions or comments.
