 I think it would be extremely valuable to add some kind of "Ticket Voting"
 feature to our Trac installation.

 This would allow users/testers to vote up bugs/enhancements that they feel
 are pertinent to them (for example, hardware/driver issues that affect
 their ability to run Haiku, etc.)

 This would allow us to better prioritize resolution of issues. In the case
 of enhancements, such as drivers for unsupported hardware, or new
 features, the votes could be used as a measurement for creation of
 bounties, developer contracts, and/or hardware purchases to incent
 developers to work on the issues.

 Note: There appears to be a "trac-hack" plugin which is *NOT* sufficient
 IMO: http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/VotePlugin

 It is URL-based, and not specific to tickets. I don't think this is the
 solution we should seek.
