Latest revision as of 22:53, 28 February 2008

We need to choose one thing (+ veg option) from each of the following mouth-watering lists! Please vote using wikipedia-style voting. The original, formatted version of the menu is at File:Student dinner packages 2008.doc

(A clue as to the rules of 'wikipedia-style voting' would be useful. Wikipedia told me a great deal about everyone else's voting systems, but nothing about its own. We get one support and oppose vote per section? A ranking vote scheme (e.g. condorcet) would work better for something like this (where several items might be acceptable). Bit late to change now.)

Could we perhaps have both popular starter choices (given one is vege and the other is meaty)? Are we allowed to be vege for the starter then turn into meat eaters for the main course? Kathryn 22:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
