Results of Survey No. 2 on the Russian name of the TfP site, Feb. 11, 2008

Greetings!

Here are the results of the second round of the survey on the Russian name of our site:

We have received only two responses to the supplemental survey of January 16 – two of the participants of the first round of voting have sent in their modified ratings. After taking them into account, the final table with all the received votes looks as follows:
Name Ratings Totals     Average Rating
Переводы для прогресса:02403305145331 342.43
Переводы ради прогресса:24331430230554 392.79
Переводы во имя прогресса: 35142550330245 423
Переводы в целях прогресса: 4---5---------  94.5
К прогрессу через переводы: 4---2---------  63
Переводы как средство прогресса: 2---0---------  21
Переводи и развивайся: 0---4---------  42

This means that the main result of the first round has not changed and the most acceptable name of the site for the Russian-speaking users is still Переводы во имя прогресса (Translations in the Name of Progress). Hence, in the near future we will be implementing the new name throughout the site.

The average rating of the last column is the sum of all the ratings divided by the number of all who rated the respective name (i.e., 14 for the first three names, and 2 for the last four). It's a pitty that more members have not voiced their opinion regarding the new suggestions, one of which received the highest average rating. However, according to the principles of the range voting system (on a scale of 0 to 5) that we used here none of the new suggestions received a quorum (see rule d).


Above we have actually benevolently assumed that all those who had not sent in new ratings, had no opinion on the four new names. If we strictly applied rating 0 instead (as stated in the survey mailout), we would have 14 voters for all seven names, and the average ratings would be as follows:
Name Ratings Totals     Average Rating
