We should break this down into two different topics: - Voting for Defect bugs - Voting for Feature Requests While the delineation is not always crystal clear, I think it is helpful in this discussion.
*Voting for Defect bugs* Our plan is to remove voting for defects (from the Participation Hub). We shouldn't need to vote on how egregious an issue is. Instead we're going to be shifting to a prioritization based on criteria. We already have this for blocking bugs, but we're planning on using it for non-blocking bugs as well. That'll be published. Then the list of defects in the Hub will be defaulted to the priority order. People can argue about the priority in the comments if they feel that triage mis-characterized the defect. (in terms of impact or frequency) *Voting for Feature Requests* We originally introduced this as some way to gauge the desire for new features from our foxfooder audience (rather than try to aggregate email based feedback or +1s). It's definitely not perfect and can be skewed. Is there an alternate approach that others have seen work for the desired purpose here (to act as aggregate voice for the community on what they'd like to see in the product)?
