Hmmm ok. I'll have to go to topica and dig those emails up sometime (not
a big hassle tho really).

That could be a problem. It would seem then that there is little 
interest
in designing OE. Until we get more input, we can either sit around and 
do
nothing waiting (not only a waste of time but also not likely to gain us 
more
interest) or make some presumtions about what should be put in 

Some topics elicited heavy discussion, and one may form presumptions
from that. When I'm back, I post a compilation of what I think was
decided and how I think undecided things might go. That's all the horses
we have, as Rett would say.

and then make
changes to later versions after we've gotten some user feedback (part of 
the
reason we might not be getting much is because users want to be able to 
test
the feature out before it is decided that it is a bad idea).

P.S. Where is the voting system exactly? Last i heard one had to email 
Derek,
has that changed?


AFAIU, the voting is public and consists of emails with a fixed list of
items. Casting a vote means assigning to each item a priority - I for
immediate, M for moderate, N for no, thanks.
Two rounds of voting already took place (well, the second one failed
miserably).
