This comes from the Apache Foundation
originally.  It is a quick way of expressing an opinion, ranging from
-1 to +1.  (Sorry, there is no -10)

In the Apache process, aside from +1
(Yes) and -1 (No) the votes mean:

• +0: 'I don't feel strongly about it, but I'm okey with this.'
• -0: 'I won't get in the way, but I'd rather we didn't do this.'
• -0.5: 'I don't like this idea, but I can't find any rational justification for my feelings.'
• ++1: 'Wow! I like this! Let's do it!'
• -0.9: 'I really don't like this, but I'm not going to stand in the way if everyone else wants to go ahead with it.'
• +0.9: 'This is a cool idea and i like it, but I don't have time/the skills necessary to help out.'
