 https://www.loomio.org/ is an interesting service for collaborative
 discussion & decision making. In particular, it has an excellent
 visualisation of Apache style consensus:

+1 = thumbs up = Approval
 +0 = sideways thumb = Abstention
 -0 = thumbs down = Disapproval
 -1 = raised hand = Veto

These then get collected into a pie chart. If contributors choose to do
 so, they can also include a short 1 line explanation of their position
 which then gets embedded below the chart.

The downside of Loomio is that the embedded discussion capability is
 relatively limited compared to a full mailing list.

It seems to me it should possible to use some relatively simple markup to
 embed a similar feature in mailing list discussions and then visualise it
 in HyperKitty. Perhaps even something as simple as:

[+1]
 [+1 this will make a nice addition to our feature set]
 [-0 I suspect this will cause us maintenance hassles later, but if you
 really want to, go ahead]
 [-1 this is completely out of scope]

Comment (by syst3mw0rm):

Sounds like a nice idea. Is there a demo of loomio where we can see
 something like this in action?

[https://www.loomio.org/g/kLsonaf6/whangarei-cycle-commuters Here's an
 example of a publicly accessible Loomio installation].

Thank you ncoghlan -- interesting idea!
