To Prevent Cheating:

The only viable way to prevent cheating is to use email with a name 
attached.

So voting requires:

Name:
Email address:

The vote must be email confirmed.


This is the only way to keep vote duping to a minimum.  IP blocking doesn't 
work. Cookies don't work.  Session data doesn't work.  There WILL be 
cheaters, I guarantee it.

This is way too important to not go all the way with.  Our desktop 
environment is going to be determined by this.

I wonder if democratizing the process is wise?

Sure am. I haven't done much with specifications for icons, though.
Having standardized toolbar icons for common functions is an excellent
idea. The only possible downside is that it would force a particular
look for toolbar buttons -- I don't know if that is a good thing or
not. Thoughts, anyone else?
