The 19th Annual
Francis Davis Jazz Critics Poll:
2024 Mid-Year
Notes for Voters
This file was a good idea, but never got developed.
I should work on it some time.
Lots of things I need to write about here:
- Who are we, and what are we doing here?
- Who are the voters, and how are they selected?
- What are the mailing lists, and how are they managed?
- Who sponsors this Poll, and what do they get for what they provide?
- How do we define a year?
- What are the categories of albums we're voting on?
- How does the website work? How should it work?
- What are "carryover votes," and how does that work?
- What are the "notes" added to the totals and ballot pages?
- What about comments?
- What is the state of the archive? Is it ever going to get updated?
Also see the
FAQ, which repeats some of this but in a form
more oriented to the general public.
