Hello, Am Dienstag, 9. Juni 2015 schrieb Robert Schweikert:
With 10 candidates that would be a time investment of 2.5 hours. For arguments sake one could say that it takes 1/2 hour to read about each candidate which then amount to a 5 hour time investment.
Agreed so far.
From beginning to end our campaigning plus voting time period is probably on the order of 4 weeks or more.
With the basic assumptions above it is reasonably straight forward to calculate that the time investment is roughly 5 to 6 minutes a day over the voting/campaigning period,
Your calculation is technically correct, but it doesn't work this way - at least for me ;-) I read the wiki pages / blog articles / whatever of all candidates _in one go_ (usually with a browser tab per candidate). When I've read everything, I decide and vote. That means I need some hours in one go, not 5 minutes a day. It also means I need a day with some hours of free time. (And yes, I found that time and did vote. ;-) I'd say you can compare this to programming or fixing a bug - if you work on it 5 minutes a day, you basically can start your editor and maybe fix a typo. If you sum up those daily 5 minutes for a month, you have 2.5 hours - and in that time you actually get some work done.
