I have a far better idea.

Why don't we kill this frickin thread and ban anyone from the mailing 
list for ever bringing this up?

Do we have to suffer noobs forever on really retarded topics?

I'd rather spend my time helping noobs out when moko starts to get 
traction than rehashing really dumb questions like this.

 Hi Steve

 I think I was a bit mis-understood.

 I didn't told that all the decisions must to be took with a votation
 system!
 If we would do so I think we will not have a phone, but a microwave.

 My idea was only: when Openmoko has to take a decision between two
 equivalent solution and WANT to know the opinions of the comunity to
 use a votation system. But only for opinion asked by OM, like it was
 for the audio jacket.

 And in every case must to be clear that also if the votation say
 choose A
 the final decision must to be tooken by OM, because you must to invest
 on it.

 I hope I clarified something :)

Depends on what you want to get out of the opinion poll.

An expert view or a mass market view. Or a democratic expert decision?

They may (and will!) differ and my proposal would be to get a view  
into both.

Hi

Di didn't say that decisions must to be taken in democratic way. I said 
only that OM can, from time to time, and only when he need, to open a 
votation on:

We must to do something how you prefer?

1. In way A
2. In way B
3. I don't matter
4. In way A and in way B

Than, in the end, OM is not forced to do how it was votated. Is only to 
know the opinion of the people.
The same thing like when it was for speaker jacket.
In every case it is only an idea.

   I don't like the fact that a cold statistics guide decisions/development of 
OM (and any open-source/free software) being developed based on it, mailing  
list,forums and even blogs allows you to argue about, and understand more the 
why of some decisions not the decision itself only. 
   I like more the idea of a positive/negative arguments vote system something 
like comments of digg.com. A lot more complex implement I suppoe but you can 
evaluate more accurate how the community how even feels about something. 
By the way, the idea of having such a thing like this as planet system? not to 
filter what is it the first page, no such news volume to even think about this 
almost right now ;), but to have a ponderate opinion value(how the whole 
comunity thinks about your and others opinions good/bad/irrelevant.?
