Secrecy is necessary for real world votes, but here we can afford some openness. It's the wiki way.
Yeah, but voting *isn't* the wiki way.
Obviously we have different definitions.
I'm with Cunc on that one: the Wiki way is jump first, ask questions later. I'm pretty down on voting as a way to accomplish anything useful, but the openly-signed voting process is at least better. It's more like a record of discussion than a vote. The Wiki way would then be for the person actually writing the code to look at the discussion and let it influence him--but not 100%. If he thought the second most popular option was the one he wanted to implement, he should do that.
