August 2010 Prioritization Crowdsourcing (CSM)
Contents
Initial Crowdsourcing
The CSM solicited player input in their efforts to prioritize the backlog in preparation for the upcoming release planning meetings at CCP.
Listed below are all 168 items that had been passed by CSM and are listed as "in process"; this means they have neither been implemented nor rejected by CCP.
Players picked around 20 items and posted a message in the forum thread that contains their on a single line, formatted as follows:
<player name>,pick#1,pick#2,pick#3,pick#4,...,pick#20
For example:
Trebor Daehdoow,1,7,19,24,25,99,103, ... ,123
- Picks do not need to be in priority order.
- Each ballot is worth 20 points, divided equally between the items selected. No item can get more than 3 points per ballot.

Raw Results
After removal of obvious alt-ballot stuffing, and un-removal of some non-obvious alliance "get out the vote" ballots that were reported to Trebor, the votes were tabulated. Some of the items identified as duplicates had their votes combined.
The raw results were as follows:
Item is the item number.
Count is the raw number of votes (unweighted) that the issue received.
Score is the weighted value of the votes. This indicates the intensity of interest in the item, because some people voted for few issues that were very important to them.
Popular is the percentage of all voters who voted for the issue (ie: unweighted count / total number of voters). This indicates the broadness of support for a particular issue.
Total number of voters = 294
Initial Categorization
Before the CSM prioritization meeting, the items were divided into 3 groups, Small, Medium and Large, based on CSM guesstimates of their implementation difficulty.
In addition, some items that CCP has indicated are not feasible (such as Corp Hangar Audit Logs (CSM), alas!) were removed. Also removed were items that CCP has already implemented, or which have been sighted on SISI.
Finally, items that did not contain specific change requests, such as Commit to excellence (CSM) were also removed, as they address issues that are beyond the scope of the planning meeting.

CSM Filtering
CSM then filtered the raw list of issues. In order to appear on the final list, an item had to receive support from at least one CSM. Some additional items were filtered out at this point because CCP has previously indicated they would not be implemented.
Items that received support from multiple CSMs were bubbled up the list a position or two.
Small Issues
Medium Issues

Next Steps
CSM's lists have been submitted to CCP for consideration during the planning meeting currently scheduled for 16-August-2010. The CSM hopes that CCP will demonstrate its regard for its loyal players by devoting resources to CSM issues.
