Good point. I suppose it's when we use Brainstorm as a community
decision making tool, rather than feeding into "future Maemo plans",
that I think an expert working group is better than direct democracy:

http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/routing_visitors_to_useful_resources/

Indeed; which is perhaps why I'm having trouble seeing its use for
community questions which can be answered by consensus rather than
having solutions gladiatorially fighting each other to the death.
