Council candidates get set a tough set of questions

EIPI sent a set of ten of his own and three additional community-sourced questions to candidates in the Maemo Community Council election. Voters in the election will want to take a look at the answers for insights about the positions of their favourite candidates, or perhaps even help picking their favourites. Sanjeev introduces the piece, The election ends at 23:59 UTC on March 30th, so be sure to get your votes in by Tuesday. As the voting uses a single transferable vote, you can vote for multiple candidates but your second choice will only be considered after your first choice is knocked out.

Since maemo.org seems FUBAR at the moment, names aren't resolved within the issue and the "top ten downloads this week" can't be produced. I'll try to update mwkn.net when everything's working again.
