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