Suggested solution:
Maybe some kind of voting system might be of use to force some kind of
consensus rather than leaving problems unsolved. I'm fed up of
receiving emails about the same problem I discussed weeks before that
never got solved. It makes my mailbox ill.
I mean if the question is really what colour is the bikeshed it would
be good for people to propose colours, people to vote on preferred
colours and at the end of say a week the majority colour wins and gets
implemented (or in cases where there is no majority we discuss the
front runners and other possible solutions).
Excuse me, but your proposed solution is wholly inadequate. For example,
a few people might prefer a green bikeshed, more people might prefer
blue, yet a small majority might prefer awful grey. The greens would of
course prefer blue to grey, yet this would not be reflected in the
voting outcome.
Obviously, if this is ever to be implemented, we need a better way of
counting the votes, such as instant-runoff voting.
