You might want to have some discussion on each item before calling for a

Example votes
-1 or +1 are the only meaningful votes at the ASF.
I think I really well explained what was the goal of the "vote" and made
clear this is not a standard vote but a "vote-like". I used the [VOTE]
subject to attract replies.
To attract replies, you shouldn't use [VOTE], if you don't call for a
vote. Please take people seriously.
Nevertheless, I think the thread you started serves a purpose by
collecting a "mood board" on some/most of the pending discussions. And
it certainly should not be intended as a way to shut down discussions.
Most of the topics are such long-termed endevours that it is impossible
to do a "bulk commit" now.
What I agree on with you and I feel you are missing is the free way to
keep development going. I'd recommend to take one piece at a time from
the pile of todo's, recall or start some dev-discussions, then vote,
then implement and be flexible enough to accept peoples ongoing input.
I explained what the various -1..+1 votes should be used for.
That said, you should now explain your reply in the context of the topic
I started.

Btw I hope you will be more flexible about this discussion procedures
the next times.
Noel (whom you are responding to) like everyone else participating in
the project has the right and the duty to define "procedures". He
responded in a very flexible way, I think.
I stopped my activity on the james trunk because I feel out of synch
with the team, I'm simply trying to understand if there is still space
for my work or not.
I'm very confident, there is. But having people with different opinions
is not a burden, it's a gift. The community is growing, so there are
popping up more opinions, what do you expect? (with community growing
linear, opinions are growing exponentially ;-))
