I think Rich has raised the main points already, and I mostly agree |
| 20 |
with him on the disadvantages of 'simple voting'. |

I once or twice told it would be really useful to have a stack |
| 23 |
exchange-like platform to discuss problems. Although it wouldn't be |
| 24 |
perfect, it would be something in between blind-voting and mailing list |
| 25 |
discussion. A place where everyone could suggest a solution and others |
| 26 |
could vote on the proposed solutions. |
