Can I be pedantic and point out how it's different?
It's spread out over a week, so it's never going to be dominated by a group of people who are on at the same time -- plus it gives an equal share to people who might only get on the board an hour a day, as opposed to people like me who are lucky and can have it in the background at work for eight hours a day.
It's spread out over the whole community, so that people who are more shy or more lurkey get an equal share of input.
It doesn't require you to be articulate or convincing or a fast typist -- you have an equal input with someone who is all of those things.
It allows you to express unpopular opinions without making yourself unpopular.

We voted as a community that voting to decide things was a fundamentally good idea.
We have a couple of minor, but surprisingly niggly, points to clear up. That's where we're at.
John just said what I would have, only better.
I feel like we're very close to getting the voting procedures in place, which I think will be used sparingly and appropriately and non-tyranically and will achieve the one thing which they are supposed to achieve: let more people be a factor in significant decisions.
That's the only thing happening.

Since it wasn't mentioned, just a quick note that there are 81 names on the list.

Fucking A! I'm changing my tagline immediately.
I am here if thread-making is needed. What title was chosen?
I'm not sure there was ever a consensus. Bullshit or otherwise.
[And I am SO saying that tongue in cheek]
Well, you all have about 50 posts to decide. You got anything?
