Eventually a count of votes will be taken. This is the only step in which staff's votes are weighted more than that of normal members. The reasons for this is because the Staff are held at higher standards to have properly tested the mod against a complete STEP install before casting their views from their evaluations. Once enough votes are posted, a tally is taken and the mod is either accepted or rejected based on the majority rule. However, there may be times will staff are not available to test and vote, due to real life situations. During such times a "rule of two" takes over. This rule is an internal one for the STEP team which means for mods to be accepted at least two STEP Staff group members or Admins must agree on the ruling for the mod. This rule filters into all that we do at STEP, as well. Nothing is done without at least two sub-admin (STEP Staff group) or admin agreeing upon it. | Eventually a count of votes will be taken.

Members keep asking for an ETA for the next release (v2.10.0). Unfortunately we don't have one. Life is busy for us all and with the holidays knocking at our doors, we'll likely be even more busy with our real lives soon. The only answer we can provide is the one we always provide, "There is no ETA. It'll be ready when it's ready." I can say that a few of the staff have completed some testing and some mods have already been accepted. Other mods will be dropped.
