Some notes taken on the first meeting of the socialswarm people.

Oh and BTW, we take only open source into account. Who'd ever like to use a closed source voting system?

notes: 

20:59  <lynX> what i dont like about adhocracy is superficial: 1. it includes google scripts
21:00  <lynX> 2. people turn off delegations just so they dont need to worry about user registration
21:46  <codethief> lynx: but we're not here for trying out *liquid* democracy. we're here for decision making.
21:48  <lynX> ct: ack, delegations may not be needed for this job

now, keep the flame up! :^D
