that said, I've got some half-written infrastructure for holding weighted<br>
ranked approval voting operations which is one of my niche business<br>
projects for virtual organizations; in case anyone would like to take<br>
it over from me and talk about requirements for doing web-based<br>
weighted ranked approval voting (wikipedia is a really good resource<br>
on approval voting and the various explored configurations and their<br>
strengths and weaknesses; including the kind that is used to<br>
select, for instance, the secretary general of the UN) please contact<br>
me off-list and<br>
