[OSM-talk] election 1 Voting system prototype (was: Move tagging RfCs/voting to extra list?)

[Lauri Hahne]

personalised links to a voting page where you would just pick your
opinion and click a button to cast a vote. Though this should be an
optional way to vote such that those who want to use only email could
use it.
