MeeGo Apps implements the OCS interface and can receive votes (and
comments) from any system (via HTTP) as soon as we finish the "Comments"
[1] implementation of the OCS spec.

We can tell BOSS about a new vote coming in, but then BOSS should also
be able to tell us current votes or notify when a new vote arrived
through an other channel, so all other 'clients' can sync their own data
(if they wanted to do so).

I see no problem that a web service receives all the votes as long as it
supports an open standard.

How BOSS would implement a public interface for getting votes etc?

Yeah, this idea should have popped up months ago, but this is software
it just "happens" and thus anything can happen at any time ;)

Btw. today's meeting won't be a good one to make a decision on this,
since key people will be away. We can of course talk about it..
