Completely orthogonal to all the OOo and Apache stuff going on... the
ASF has an online voting tool that you guys may be interested in.
There is both a command line version (for ssh users), and a web-based
version (if you guys also have web-based authentication for your
Members). That tool may be useful for you guys. It provides for secure
and private/secret voting. Just select a few people to do the vote
counting, and away you go.

It is located in a private repository, but I see no reason that it
couldn't be public (simply a historic accident, I believe). If you're
interested, I can snap a copy of the command line stuff. For the
web-based version, please ask on infrastruct...@apache.org.

Cheers,
