[Elections] Election Team Kickoff

[Daniel Vainsencher]

Actually, 1, 2, 4 can each be done in 15 minutes by anyone wanting 
voting rights, and in a way that gives absolutely nothing back to the 
community.

How about publishing a package on SM, or SqueakSource, or contributing a 
version to SqS?

OTOH, the people in Lex's second list are only credit-less in SqP 
because they've never had reason to join. Assuming they want to vote on 
something, they'll have to login somewhere anyway, so they need to 
create a user anyway. We can certainly make it so the voting system is 
another route to creating an SqP user. Could then allow the new user to 
send a mail to a couple of existing members saying something like "hey I 
joined, please rate me".

On the gripping hand, if we agree a voting system is needed, and that 
SqP should be a source of valid voters (maybe one of several), then we 
should proceed to build it, and consider adding other sources of voters 
later.

So, anyone think we don't want a voting system, or that it shouldn't be 
Condorcet, or that SqP is a bad initial source of voters?
