Great job Frank! You get my +1 vote on RFC-1, I think that would be a 
great start, we could try for a few months, see how it goes and adapt 
the process as needed.

Should the result of the votes be archived somewhere in an official 
manner instead of just in the list archives?
Perhaps we could vote as part of the bug that documents the issue being 
discussed? (Not using the bugzilla voting mechanism, but just by writing 
a comment in the bug with your votes). Benefits of using bugzilla are 
that it's quick to go and cast your vote, all the votes for a given 
issue are in the same bug so they're easy to track down later on, and 
contrary to the Plone site or wikis, information cannot be removed from 
bugzilla, so once a comment/vote is entered it's recorded there for ever 
with the identity of the person who submitted it. Just a thought... I 
know you must be tired of me talking about using bugzilla for 
everything.... sorry...

Daniel
