The idea of voting sounds very democratic, however the way in which that voting
system plays a part in the process of developing Euphoria, I am afraid, might
become more bureaucratic than democratic.

Besides, with this issue (I actually forget whether it is over get, or Derek's
thing) what if you are correct and it should not be included, or done, but there
is a vote and it is included, or done... wouldn't you rather have the opportunity
to continue to discus something rather than having it all come to a final,
binding, vote?

If for example we did have a voting system for Euphoria "features", how would
you see that working?  What would the process be?
