In the spirit of the US election today, I thought I would mention voting on 
Clojure tickets. Clojure manages bugs and enhancement requests in JIRA 
<http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ>. Anyone can create a JIRA account 
<http://dev.clojure.org/jira/secure/Signup!default.jspa> and vote on open 
tickets in the system (no contributor agreement 
<http://clojure.org/community/contributing> is required to vote).

In the core team, we look at votes on tickets to be aware of what the 
community cares about and as one input to the order in which tickets are 
considered. However, the most-voted tickets in the system have fewer than 
30 votes and I suspect that there are many thousands of people with 
opinions about which of these tickets are important.

If you'd like to see the lists of the highest voted tickets in the system, 
you can do so in these reports:
- Highest voted defects 
<http://dev.clojure.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=11301>
- Highest voted enhancements 
<http://dev.clojure.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=11302>

Andy Fingerhut also has a weighted voting report 
<http://jafingerhut.github.io/clj-ticket-status/CLJ-top-tickets-by-weighted-vote.html>
 
that updates about once a week. This show a different perspective - I'm not 
sure which is more useful but I look at both.

If you'd like to learn more about the process:
- Overview <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Contributing> of 
contribution links 
- JIRA workflow <http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/JIRA+workflow>
- A blog I wrote describing the process 
<http://insideclojure.org/2015/05/01/contributing-clojure/> 

A few examples of highly voted issues that have been included in 1.9 so far:
- CLJ-1224 <http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1224> Records do not 
cache hash like normal maps (21 votes)
- CLJ-1298 <http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1298> Add more type 
predicate fns to core (18 votes)
- CLJ-1744 <http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1744> Unused 
destructured local not cleared, causes memory leak (17 votes)
- CLJ-1242 <http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-1242> = on sorted 
collections with different key types incorrectly throws (7 votes)
- CLJ-401 <http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-401>   Add seqable? 
predicate (7 votes)
