I have a little proposition here.

I'm not =97at least currently=97 known for any app or framework, but I'd li=
ke my
voice to count, that is, if and only if the rest of the community thinks I
make sane arguments that are worth considering.

I'm perfectly aware that the fame one could gain from taking production cod=
e
to visible success should be an indicator of an educated opinion, however, =
I
think this might lead to a closed group who can vote, and I like the
openness of this community, even if the general process is chaotic, it stil=
l
gets the warm and fuzzy feeling of an open source community.

OTOH, if a completely open group's votes were all considered, the final
decision could just end up being a matter of numbers outnumbering other
numbers. If I get it right, this is the current problem.

So my proposal is that the voting privilege could be given on the basis of =
a
*web of trust*, and if I'm not mistaken this is a little like what the
concept of karma works here (I'm fairly new here). Not sure if there should
be a voting to elect voters or if it could/should be something more lax, bu=
t
I don't think the requirement to vote should be fame.

Best regards,

David
