Voting is a measure of traceable membership participation/activity.
Otherwise we can get spammed on untraceable votes to send us where we

by that, we would exclude a large amount of developers, and I am sure
want to have them on the list. While it might be indeed something to
attract more people applying for membership, I think excluding them
from all votings (rather than only elections, which is what membership
is about), does not feel right - but I am happy to hear some more
thoughts, since we seem to have mixed feelings here. ;)

Perhaps we should have 2 tiered membership, full members, developers who
contribute on a regular and ongoing basis and such, and associate
members, those who have been on the mail lists since the founding of
TDF, and who contribute in less provable ways, like promoting the
program, giving others the program on disk etc. I have been on the
discuss list with OOo since about the turn of the century, and actually
would like to contribute to the program in limited ways, like sending
word lists for the spelling dictionary, and enhancing the autocorrect
function if any developer is willing to help me to do it. I haven't
done any programming since working with BASIC back in the 1980s, so I
can't contribute much to the code, but I would like to do whatever I can.
