[Imc-alternatives] decision-making software?

[lancaster-imc at riseup.net]

You can use crabgrass to do a ranked vote--input all of the proposed
names, and encourage everyone to go in and rank the suggestions in order
of preference. Once everyone has done this we will know what the group
overall has decided it the winner. I can put this together and post to the
list, if no one else is jumping on this. Jay?
