Seems like getting more bang for our buck from that tool makes plenty of sense.<div><br></div><div>This also seems like a good reason for open sourcing the tool sooner than later -- providing opportunities for folks to contribute patches where necessary to enable these kinds of changes (though open sourcing the app will not necessarily cause code to be written, I realize).</div>

I'm wondering what it would take to make the voting tool be able to help out the specs council? Like other votes, some of the challenges are sifting through an email thread collecting votes, getting people to realize that they're supposed to vote in a certain thread and mixing the input between the community and council members. What I'd propose is that we add the ability to vote on proposals to the voting tool in such a way where anyone (including non-members) can vote though the results are displayed split up between the council member votes and the wider community votes (a bit like how the US election has the popular vote and the electoral vote). Ideally this would be extended to the final approval vote as well so that anyone could vote but only the votes from Foundation members would be counted.<br>
<br>
Who should I work with to make this happen? Other ideas on how this should work?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
