User blog:Danielboone6702/Admin voting is now public!

For a large part of this wiki's history, the admins have secretly communicated about wiki issues using various sites throughout the years, collectively known as Admin Chat. Most of the community did not see any of these discussions, except for a handful who managed to find these sites. But now, the admins have decided on a method that will still allow us to have discussions with a reasonable amount of privacy, while making much of these discussions public and open to the community! We will not disclose transcripts of the discussions, but we will keep a list of the issues we're discussing, a summary of each issue, how many votes each proposal has, and the current status of the discussion. This is based on the public disclosures that the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives offer, that summarize the issues that are discussed in Congress, without providing transcripts of the discussions. For now, this is just an experiment, so we may decide later to disclose more or less information about our voting.

We will not disclose the following:


 * Planned disciplinary actions against users.
 * Details about upcoming promotions (We will only disclose the fact that users are being promoted, and how much progress we have made in the discussion).
 * Casual discussions between the admins.
 * Discussions that may have adverse effects if disclosed.
 * Old discussions made long before this announcement.

You can find the Admin Votes here, on the main page, or under the Community tab of Wiki Navigation.
