This sounds doable. We can't have general votes on everything though;
some decisions should only be made by the people with intimate
knowledge of the module affected. We need to compartmentalize people
and define clear interactions between the modules. But sure, in the
early days there should be a lot of "general" votes to hash out the
overall flavor of the system.

We should wait for flux. It should be released any time now, no?
There is plenty of designing to do before we write code anyway.
