Anthere-
The point is, most people have not followed what wikispecies project was about, so it is not certain whether they would do an informed vote. This might be well one of these cases where voting is not a good idea Erik :-)
I see voting useful as a way to gauge where people stand, but perhaps, when we only want to do that, we should not call it voting. Instead, we could have an "opinion matrix":
users opinion summary arguments
Mav opposed to separate - leads to fragmentation, Erik project, support duplication Wikimedia Commons - bad precedent [[/Detailed proposal]]
Anthere support Wikispecies, - otherwise, risk of external Angela at least for now forks - features can be added later
This way we can easily get an overview of the different points of view, and better try to find solutions that satisfy everyone involved. That would also help outside people to understand more quickly what a discussion is about.

Correct :-) We can probably agree here Erik, to call this a poll rather than a vote. A poll is to jauge people opinion, after which a decision is taken. A vote is a system to take the decision. The developer poll for the payment issue was definitly a poll :-)
