Why vote for model incorporation

Why voting to incorporate a model in CMT?

CSDMS tries to add as many models and modules to CMT as possible. However, the CSDMS integration facility (CSDMS-IF) has only limited resources, so we need to decide which models to incorporate into the CMT first. That is why we would like to get your input! In this process we like to get feetback from the community to determine on which models and modules we should emphasize our efforts to integrate it into the CMT.
So please give us feed back which models are important to you to incorporate into CMT.

How to vote

Voting is very easy, and done in a 2 steps:

1. Login to the wiki (why?)
2. Click on the colored scale bar to vote. A 100% vote means that you can not wait to see this model incorporated into the CMT, and obviously 0% means that you have no interest in using this model through the CMT.

Some voting rules

The voting system is set up such that you can only vote once on each model. However, you can change your vote any time you want up to the point where CSDMS-IF starts adding the model to CMT. If you want to change your vote, just make sure you are logged in to the wiki and click on the colored voting scale bar again to change your vote.

Why do I need to login to vote?

Voting is restricted only to members of CSDMS, as CSDMS members are the community that CSDMS-IF serves! Only CSDMS members have a login to the CSDMS website, so nobody else can vote to get a model or module into CMT. Secondly, CSDMS members can only give one vote per model or module. The website keeps track of the one vote per member per model rule, but therefore you need to login.
