Given Manoj's answer which basically says you guys can agree to whatever rules of conduct you want, I'd like to ask that you *not* generate any new material :) I think a three-week voting period is sensible as it allows people to go over logs, mailing list archives, and everything else before they make their decision(s). How about you keep it to summaries of mailing list threads and IRC conversations or similar? Ideally something self-centered, too, as a summary of another candidate's position will likely result in the other candidate feeling that they've been (deliberately?) misrepresented, which would just result in a lot of extra discussion in a period when people are supposed to be making decisions.
