I think we should have person opening the vote create a summary on he wiki and I think we should have the person aggregating the vote log the final summary on the wiki. This way we can have the formal record in the email and an easy to read record in the wiki. The best of both worlds for only twice the work :)

I setup an example for how a wiki voting system could work here: http://wiki.codehaus.org/geronimo/Voting
My main issue with email only voting is that it is hard to manage who voted & what there vote was with out digging a whole lot.
Plus with MoinMoin it is possible to use ACL to control who can write to the page, and is possible to let someone vote with out having to edit the page, though need to write a special action/macro to handle that.
I personally would like to see voting done in email & then finalized on the wiki page so it is easy for anyone to see what is going on, what has been voted on and what is currently open for votes.

NO!
Now for the explanation. :-) I am a big fan of Wiki, but it does not
replace the mailing list. The mailing list should be used for discussion,
and MUST be used for voting. The mailing lists are archived and provide an
paper trail. They are a record of the project.
